<DIV><SPAN class=907191116-26102002><FONT size=2>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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=907191116-26102002><FONT size=2>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 <A
href="http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/W/WYSIWYG.html">WYSIWYG</A> interfaces of
web design applications. This takes one class day, at most. Beyond this, we work
in Dreamweaver for site development.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

semester's syllabus, if you're interested. I hope it's
helpful.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
