Human-Computer Interaction

Proposals: two missing (not submitted); five people did not provide peer
group feedback. Please read comments (mine, your peers). More portfolios
than I expected.
Modified Assignment 1 (paper 1) for portfolio projects: scholarly sources are focused on your essay. Other "sources" should be annotated links to portfolio websites (search the web for portfolio sites - preferably similiar in career field to yours! - you are looking for content and design ideas) -
Discussion Leaders : Group 1
Discussion leaders do not need to comment on blogs the week they lead discussion!

Lab:
- We will create a "site" in Dreamweaver on each lab machine (site name: COM300). This is how Dreamweaver manages your hyperlinks. Tutorial
- Using Dreamweaver, create a new folder in the COM300 site; name it "your name." To do this, right-click the "com300" folder in the "local view" -- select "new folder".
- Download (right-click and "save link/target as") your edited bio (and pictures - even if it is just the placeholder image) from our Plone site. Save them in the folder you just made (prior step).
- Using Dreamweaver, create a new folder called images. To do this, right-click the "your name" folder in the "local view" -- select new folder.
- Move the picture (drag and drop) to the images folder. Tell DW "ok" when it asks if it should update links.
- On Your Own
- In order to use your UW account to host web pages, you must first activate web publishing.
- We'll use UWICK - Secure FTP - to move your bio and image to your UW server for "public" viewing. The FTP server is dante.u.washington.edu.
- To connect to the UW FTP server from home, you will need to download (or pick up CD at Bookstore) the UWICK software. UW also provides a tutorial showing how to configure DreamweaverMX2004 to use secure FTP.
