Assignment #LinkDescriptionStatus
  View  
1ViewCreate a web page on NEIU site with some graphics, lists (ordered, unordered, definition), email address, horizontal rule, and headers. There should also be a link to a 2nd page where you'll later do assignment 2, etc. Use HTML. Use the w3 validator to check for errors. Include underlines, bold and italic. Completed
2ViewDo one of the projects at the end of chapter 2 or any other page of your choice. Use tables, and a framed page. The left window must have a list of at least 3 or 4 links with all targets on the right frame except one that will take you to a new window using target="_blank" within the anchor element. For example, see my home on a separate window. The advantage of linking to a separate window is that your audience will not lose your original page and eventually will come back to you. One of the links should link within a page (using id= and name=). For example you may link to the bottom of this page. Try also a link from one page to the bottom of another. Also use target="_parent" to return to your start page. The table can be on the right frame page or on the left for the series of linksCompleted

Usability Study

Do some research on usability and write one paragraph explaining how your page was made more usable as a consequence. You may explore ajax-web development with javascript. Mash-up like web 2.0, share, social network, connotia, or flicker. A mashup is a website or application that combines content from more than one source into an integrated experience. You may want to explore Jared Spool ( Co-Author of Designing for the Scent of Information. The Scent of Information is a proven concept that explains how people navigate) or Debra Mayhew writings on usability testing. Morae, paper, prototype, Think-aloud-protocol (Think aloud protocol is a method used to gather data in usability testing in product design and development). An alternative to the usability study would be a CRAAP test of a chosen site.
