Teaching Methods of Web Authoring

Abstract

Providing information on the Internet requires the knowledge of HTML[1], and we have been teaching it mainly to the students who belong to Informatics departments by means of teaching HTML tags. As the Internet has become more popular, many people provide information on the Internet. It has become necessary to teach HTML to students whose major is not Computer Science and who have fewer chances to write HTML but have more chances to provide information on the Internet. In spite of the different goals of these two types of students, we are still teaching them in the same way. Here, taking the difference into consideration, we propose to develop our method of teaching web authoring as to fit current needs. We also consider and try to explain what are the good pages. We also propose a method to teach how to create good pages with simple and restricted conditions. Although they are not perfect, we refer this topic in order to start discussion.
