Welcome to IMED 1316.

While the course doesn’t officially start just yet, I wanted to get you some information to get started with.

First off, no book is required.
However, there is a workbook, available from the TC Bookstore, called HTML and the Art of the Web Page. This is basically a repeat of the information available on the class web site, http://www.templejc.edu/dept/cis/CCollins/IMED1x16/index.html.
If you feel you can simply use the web site, feel free to save yourself about $10.00
NOTE, you may NOT print the contents of my web pages out in the labs... you may do so at home, or buy the workbook.
.
Another book, New Perspectives on Creating Web Pages with HTML, XHTML, and XML, Comprehensive, 2nd Edition by Patrick Carey
ISBN-10: 0619268018 or ISBN-13: 9780619268015 may be of interest to you as a reference piece... but again, it is not required.

First, while IMED 1316 is offered an on-line course, it is not a self paced course. There are weekly milestones that I expect you to meet.

The class web site is where you will receive all the instruction, and it is fairly self explanatory.

http://www.templejc.edu/dept/cis/CCollins/IMED1x16/index.html

The syllabus, book info, calendar-due dates, overviews (class lectures with reading notes), and labs are all there.

Also, in the few days, you will also be getting an email from Temple College with log in information for Desire2Learn (D2L), the on-line management tool that you will use to participate in class discussions, turn in homework, take the lab quizzes, and take the tests.

I also have links on the class web page to info on using D2L, and each overview and lab has links to specific areas, discussions, quizzes, the dropbox, etc. that you will be using. I will also leave you almost daily updates on what is going on in D2L.

Some of the VCT students have already emailed me; I would appreciate an email from each of you in the next few days.

While many of you take on-line classes to avoid a classroom, I am teaching many other classes on the TC campus, and each one has a time blocked out for lab. Any student of mine is welcome to come by Watson Tech 522 during those parts of the class to work, and ask questions, including any evening that I am there.

I read my email religiously, so for most of you, that is how you can ask questions and get help.

This is a fun class, and I look forward to a great opportunity to show you how to make web pages.
