Notes: May, 2000 Web 101 Seminar

 

Two ways of doing things:

Web 101    (e.g. Jim Lucas' Home Page)
The Other Guys  (e.g. Online Music eGuide)
simple glitzy
no production team production team needed
fast & flexible slow turnaround
resulting web literacy no resulting literacy
ongoing process one shot
open open 
free (cost is time of professor) expensive

What's in this for you:

Prerequisites to being a 'net literate' professor:

  1. know your login and password
  2. know 'save as' and directory structure
  3. know how to edit in Composer (or other)
  4. know how to FTP
  5. know how to change your password
  6. know path vs. URL (path: "/home/staff/jalucas/http/home.html" and URL: "http://www.neiu.edu/~jalucas")
  7. know full (or absolute) URL (http://www.neiu.edu/~jalucas/muscon/syllabus/calendar.html) vs. relative URL (../calendar.html)
  8. know the difference between "http/index.html" (your main home page) and "http/course1/index.html" and your course1 home page

Good Practice:

A Historical Perspective:


An 11th century monk and music teacher: "His endeavours to improve these conditions by innovations in the current methods of teaching are fully described in his writings; these made him unpopular with his brethren in the order and led to his removals to the monastery of Pomposa near Ferrara, Italy."

Sight: The Guidonian Hand
    Hand signals which were 'short-cuts' to musical tones in the scale
Sound: The 'Syllables"
    The 'do, re, me' system
Reading: The Music Staff Notation System
    Defined music literacy until the present day
