Creating a course document


Syllabus or Assignment list:

This needs columns. Do not create this in Word with tabs. It will not line up properly. Instead, use Netscape and create a table.

Here is a sample Assignment list. It depends, of course, on the way you want to use Blackboard: added to your class meetings or instead.

Assignments:
 Read
Write and e-mail/hand in: 300 words about
 Check announcement for
 Discussion Board
Week 1
 Chapter 1
 topic1
 Week 1
 reply to question 1

For a syllabus, you will need, separately, a book list and a table of  dates and topics but both can be in the same HTML document.

Book list:

Create in Word and upload as a .doc file, or create in Netscape. See ../html/html_basics.html

Other materials:

You should create an HTML file with Netscape Composer that may include links to other materials you want, such as

a series of images with comments and questions
a topic and links to online material related to the topic -- or additional html files with that material
a poem and questions about it
some data from Access or Excel and a graph based on the data
audio or video clips

(all of this depends on the type of course you are teaching)
see audio, graphics, Excel, Powerpoint, video... on the TechTeach mainmenu
