Final Project
I am providing information on it now so you all know where we are headed. Just to be sure it is not all overwhelming, I have broken the project deliverables into three phases:
- Phase 1 is Due June 1 : which is essentially a basic set-up that includes your selecting a hosting ISP, and providing a preliminary storyboard for your site.
- Once you have gotten the hang of either WordPress or Drupal then you should begin to decide on some of the basics: a theme and some of the major plug-ins/add-ons for example. By June 29 send me via Canvas, a more detailed outline and your decision, a revised sitemap that outlines your finalized premise/plan for the site. (What’s the story you are trying to tell us about your product/service/course?)
- The final project is due July 15 .
