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 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.
Best,
Cassandra
