Hello, I teach Intro to Web Design regularly to undergrad Communication majors. My focus is on design and application-based development, rather than HTML, figuring that COMM majors are not computer science majors. My students generally have limited capacity and willingness to work with code. That said, I think it's important to introduce students to the basic structure of HTML so they know there is a lot going on underneath the WYSIWYG <http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/W/WYSIWYG.html> interfaces of web design applications. This takes one class day, at most. Beyond this, we work in Dreamweaver for site development. Here is a link to this semester's syllabus, if you're interested. I hope it's helpful. http://www.utah.edu/newmedia/cvb/courses/3510-f02/index.htm Best, Cassandra o::-::-::-::-::-::-::-::-::-::-::o Cassandra Van Buren, Ph.D. New Media Studies Department of Communication University of Utah 255 S.
