Introduction
Welcome to CSCI A348, Mastering the World Wide Web. This syllabus details the requirements of this course that includes required materials, definition of attendance in an online course, the rules regarding quizzes, and submitting assignments and projects. Please read it carefully as you will be required to complete a quiz by the end of the first week of the semester. If you do not understand something about the syllabus, please feel free to contact me via email: wdorin@iu.edu. Syllabus URL: https://ciswjd.sitehost.iu.edu/a348/
Text and Materials
Required:
- Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2020, Classroom in a Book, Publisher: Adobe Press/Peachpit Press ISBN-13: 970 0 13 526214-6
- A storage device: You will need to have a USB drive, also called "a thumb drive or flash stick."
The text book: This edition of the Dreamweaver CC 2020 Classroom in a Book is considerably different from the earlier editions. Lessons have been moved around and renumbered. In addition, the 2020 edition discusses progressive web design in the lesson on building templates. The web site that is developed in the book is different from all previous editions. The lessons and web page build upon previous lessons to make a complete website.
Storage device: Why a storage device? You should have one expressly dedicated to this class, that is at least 16 gig in size. Graphics will take up a most of the storage space. The most important reason for having a separate disk will occur in Lesson 7, working with templates. Moreover, students have encountered issues in the past when uploading their websites and pages to he to the pages/mercury server when they have work saved on their hard drive on their computer. Not having your work on a separate storage device Dreamweaver appears to have a problem when building and saving templates when the site root folder is actually a sub-folder of another folder. What happens is Dreamweaver asks if you want to save something in the root, and when click YES it appears the file is already saved. However, when you upload your project to the pages/mercury server, the file or a graphic may not appear.
I recommend at least two, one for a backup. You should have two devices and make a backup at least every other day, if not every day. If your USB drive crashes you could lose everything. So if you tell me you lost your USB drive, I will be able to say, "No problem, you have a backup, right?"
Getting and using software: You will need to use at least Adobe Dreamweaver 2020 for this course to follow with this book. You can download Adobe Creative Cloud through IUWare. Adobe CC 2020 is available and their are difference in the bootstrap styles that are downloaded to your disk than in previous editions. You can find IUWare through one.iu.edu and search for Software Downloads. If you have not done so in the past, you must accept the user agreement. Use your IU email address, but you can use a different password. Be advised, downloading the Adobe software will take time. You need to set up your Adobe Cloud account this to use the Adobe Cloud for assignments.
Please be aware that the IUN Labs and Library computers will contain Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2020. If you have Dreamweaver 2018 or 2019, you will see just a few slight difference, but the way files are stored and saved has not changed. The main difference is in the bootstrap styles and the Classroom in a Book editions.
Computer: This course has been offered 100% online since 2016. You need to have access to a computer. I am sorry to be strict on this, but if your computer should break down and need repairs, which can take weeks, you need to find and use another computer. Because the campus has many computers in the Student Technology Center or the Library, your computer being down extensively for repairs is not an excuse. The CIS department has a small tutoring lab with some available computers during regular departmental hours. If you do not live near campus, you are responsible for finding some other means to complete your assignments.
This requirement is important because of the deadlines in taking quizzes, submitting projects and participating in weekly discussion topics. It would make no sense to allow you to participate in the discussions once the topic closes when no one else will see your initial posting or how you responded to theirs. See the information below on class participation and the discussion topics. If you do not have access to a reliable computer, perhaps you should withdraw from the class until you do.
General Information
Course Description: The course description in the IUN Bulletin is rather outdated.
P: CSCI-A 106. Project-oriented course leading to the ability to maintain a fully functional Web site. Topics include Internet network protocols and Web programming, server administration, protocols, site design, and searching and indexing technologies.
When the original course description was written, Dreamweaver was not available to us, and one needed to learn many other protocols for communicating over the Internet. Design Principles were not being applied to web pages. Early web pages had lots of graphics and offered little in interactivity. All that has changed in the past 18 years. We will examine these and other topics described in the course description through the mandatory course discussions and supplemental materials.
First things first: This courses is taught entirely online. I will post an Announcement every Sunday afternoon outlining the weeks readings, discussion topics, any quizzes and/or project assignments. I will also use the Announcements to update any changes to an assignment or course situations, so you should check the assignments periodically. My advice is to check the Announcements Sunday afternoon and make sure you can find everything described.
Course materials are on Canvas. You should log into your Canvas account and peruse the File navigation links. Not everything will be open immediately. Look at each of the folders to become familiar with their contents. Other application programs you need, except for Adobe Creative Cloud, are in the Applications folder. Some how-to and supplemental documents are in Course Notes folder, which includes a folder named Web Design with notes about Web Design. The Dreamweaver Classroom in a Book folder contains the files needed for the text. Project folders and instructions will be found Dreamweaver Project Files folder. If you have used Dreamweaver CC from an earlier release, be advised, they have made some changes.
Pages/Mercury account: I will provide you will have a detailed step-by-step set of instructions for creating and activating your account. Everyone will have to complete the Account Agreement form after you activate your mercury account. See the pages/mercury account instructions in Canvas for more details. Setting up your account during the first week of the semester is important because if there are problems, it may take some time to get the problems fixed. If you had a pages/mercury account from another class, make sure it is still active. They have changed the server and how to access you accounts. UITS recently made this change in summer and it is possible the "bugs" are not worked out yet. Please check out this web page at IU's Knowledge base: https://kb.iu.edu/d/bggi
Class attendance, Course Commitment Policy and Online Discussions: You have signed up for a course at IUN you must abide by the Course Commitment Policy @ http://www.iun.edu/registrar/policies/couse-commitment-attendance-policies.htm An administrative withdrawal is one in which the instructor asks the registrar to drop the student for failing to attend class during the first week. You may also be dropped for failing to attend or completing any assignment or quizzes during the first four weeks of the semester. Attendance in online classes is determined by number of times one logs into Canvas and participates in the online discussions. To be considered participating in the course, you must participate in the discussions and complete assignments. Withdrawals may have an impact on any financial aid you are receiving. Please abide by the Course Commitment policy. If you do not like the class, or cannot attend as required, you should drop early to get a refund.
Participation in class: Due to new federal guide lines regarding online courses, students must show they are actively participating in the course as if in a face-to-face classroom. Therefore, is imperative that you actively log into Canvas and read messages/announcement and participate in the discussions. This requirement means you cannot put off until the last minute to do all assignments.
Federal regulations are very clear about online class requirements. The classes that do not comply with the regulations are not considered 'online courses' and are instead considered correspondence courses and are not eligible for federal financial aid. What does that mean for you? All online courses must "support regular and substantive interaction between the students and the instructor".
That means you are required to regularly participate in online discussions and other interactive activities. In addition, online classes must require the same attendance that a face-to-face version of the same class requires (typically 3 hours a week for 3 credit hours). Attendance is determined by the amount of time/days the students are required to log in and participate in course activities. This is why I have a minimum log in and participation requirement, so I am in compliance with the federal regulations and your financial aid dollars are not compromised.
Discussions: Discussion topics will include, but not be limited to, examination of good and bad web page design, legal, ethical, privacy, and security issues that should be considered in the context of building and publishing web pages and Internet activity. Other topics will include current events in world of the Internet such as net neutrality and social media.
To earn credit, you must respond to the main topic with a succinct intelligent response. Then you must respond to two other students’ responses. Your comments must be more than simple short phrases or “I agree.” To earn credit, you must state why or why you do not agree. If you have a different thought altogether, state your thought and why. Inadequate responses will not receive credit. There are 13 total discussion topics.
Inappropriate comments or attacking another student's opinion will not be tolerated. Respect others as you would want to be respected. Yes, we have free speech, but if you do not agree with a person's comments, say so in a respectful manner by use logical arguments. I will not tolerate bullying or belittle of another person. Such behavior will be dealt with through Student Affairs.
Due Dates: Except for the first discussion topic assignment, all discussions will be due by Wednesday and Saturday of each week. Your initial response to the topic is due Wednesday, and your responses to other students are due by Saturday. Due dates will be clearly marked in the assignments. Discussions are graded. Calculating points for the discussions: You will earn four (4) points on your original comment. You must reply/comment on two (2) other student comments, but you will receive credit for only two. Each reply/comment will receive two (2) points, for a total of eight (8) points for the discussion assignment. If you make your initial response by Wednesday as directed, you will receive two additional points for a total of 10 points.
Discussion topic participation is very important. Failure to ever respond to other students discussions will result in a 5% penalty on your final grade. Failure to respond to more than six of the total discussions will result in an additional 5% penalty off your final course grade.
Contacting me via email: I ask that you contact me using IU email instead of the messaging tool in Canvas. I am not always in Canvas and when I am working I generally have my IU Email open. Although Canvas saves emails, I save all emails from students in my Microsoft Exchange Email, which is backed up by the university. This way, I can keep a thread of our conversations. My email address is wdorin@iun.edu.
Sending email: When you send me an email, please have the courtesy of telling me who you are by signing your name, especially if you use a non-IU email address with a nickname I would not know. You should also be sure to place a subject in the subject box. Emails without subjects, often end up in my junk mail and can be missed. Thank you. Sorry, I am usually not working past 10 p.m. so I may not answer until the next morning.
Weekly Schedule of Assignments, quizzes, and projects: You need to follow the weekly schedule associated with your section. The schedule is subject to change in the event of a school emergencies. I will post all announcements about changes on Canvas, but you should check the schedule at least twice a week for changes. Online students will not be impacted by campus closures due to weather.
Course Prerequisites
Prerequisites: CSCI C106 or A106 or Consent of instructor and Class Permission. If you are currently in CSCI A106 or C106, this not sufficient, you must have completed the course. This course requires that you can use a computer to launch programs, save or find files, create folders and so on. It is important that you can define what a remote drive is and how to find connect to it and find it on your computer. You must be able to differentiate between local and remote drives and you must be able to differentiate between a file and folder. Specifically, you must to know how to use Windows File Explorer or Mac Finder to perform the following sills:
- You can identify folders and sub folders
- You can differentiate between a root folder and sub folder
- You can create a new file folder on your disk
- You can create new folders and sub folders on a local or remote drive
- You can copy, move, or delete folders and files from local or remote drives
- You can describe and define the path structure for using Windows software
- You can open, close, save files to local or remote drives in a specific folder
- You can create a compressed folder with the contents of a project folder
- You can extract files and folders from a compressed folder
- You can define and identify a dialog box, tab, or panel used in software packages
- You can explain or demonstrate how to launch a Contest menu
- You can find files using the Windows or Mac search feature
- You are adept at using the mouse, and can differentiate between left and right clicking
The above list is skills you must have; these are not skills that will be taught in this course. To be absolutely successful in this course, especially if you are taking it online, you must know how to create folders, be able to describe concept of a file versus a folder. You are expected to know these concepts and have these skills. As building the website in the Adobe Dreamweaver Classroom in a Book lesson get more complicated, having these skills are most important. .
You should take the time to learn the layout of Dreamweaver with its various panels, and become familiar with the Code, Split, Design and Live views. The book will often jump around the various panels and views. So familiarity with the interface and mouse is crucial to your success.
You will learn to use the FTP program WinSCP to post (upload) web pages to a server. WinSCP is available in the Files navigation of Canvas for this course in the Course Files and Notes folder. This software uses the EXACT same concepts as used in working with Windows 10 File Explorer. The interface will not look exactly the same, but a folder is a folder and copying or moving files is simple, using the Context Menu. Mac user should use Cyberduck.
Course Goals
Course Goals. Mastering the World Wide web is an in-depth study of the creation and implementation of web pages. Web page development has changed drastically in the last 20 years. Early emphasis was learning HTML and some simple Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) codes. The development of more user-friendly software that allowed WYSIWYG development, ed-emphasizing learning HTML. Our book does not have a lesson on creating forms. Forms are often necessary so some supplemental material will be provided. Because this course, however, does not introduce any programming (JavaScript); you will only learn how to create forms, not make them interactive.
Because web page development and layout is entirely dependent on CSS now, one must be a little more skilled in HTML and understanding how CSS works. Because more and more people rely on their cell phones and tablets to view web pages, responsive web design is a central focus on web page development. Responsive web design means the pages appear and respond differently based on the device on which it is being displayed.
Our primary goal in this course is to teach you the essentials of HTML and how to construct style sheets to format the appearance of your web pages using the Dreamweaver CSS Designer Panel. You will learn to use FTP (WinSCP or Cyberduck) to publish (post or upload) web pages on the IU mercury server.
Another goal of this course is you make you "web page design literate." You may never want or need to design a web page, but in the world of technology, it is easy to be fooled by someone if you are not technologically literate. One way to learn this skill is to learn the technology available to build web pages. What does it take to put a web page together that is good, interesting and usable? From this point, you will be able to judge if other web pages meet that criteria.
Throughout the semester, you will be asked to examine good and bad web page design and what makes those pages good or bad. You will be asked to discuss the legal, ethical, privacy, and security issues that should be considered in the context of building and publishing web pages. The online classes will use the Forums in Canvas for discussions. Both classes will be responsible for quizzes based on readings regarding these issues.
Course Outcomes and Content
We will use Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2019. The Adobe Dreamweaver Classroom in a Book is presented as Lessons instead of chapters. Each Lesson presents a specific set of skills. The weekly schedule details what Lesson or Lessons you are responsible for that week. You are expected to read the Lesson and perform the steps in the Lesson to create the completed web page. You will apply these techniques to the class Dreamweaver Assignments.
Outcomes: By the end of this course you will be able to create a responsive design web page using Dreamweaver CC, which includes:
- Define URL, protocol, path, client, and web server
- Upload (post/publish) web pages to a server (IU Mercury)
- Add a new Site, or edit properties of a current Site
- Identify the workspace panels in Dreamweaver
- Write the HTML code (from scratch) to create a basic web page
- Use the Files Panel to open HTML or text files
- Use CSS Designer panel to create a new style sheet, add selectors, and add properties
- Define the various types of style theories (cascade, inheritance, descendant, and specificity)
- Explain the hierarchy of how styles are applied to a web page in a browser
- Apply a new style rule to an element
- Use a Photoshop layout image to create a web page
- Describe the method used to create a responsive design using Dreamweaver Bootstrap
- Modify and apply Bootstrap Styles to a web page
- Create a web page with multiple rows with one or more columns
- Use the Insert panel to add HTML elements and Bootstrap Components
- Use the Assets panel to find images or other files
- Switch among the Code, Split, and Design/Live views as needed
- Add or modify Document titles, Meta tags, descriptions, and keywords.
- State and identify the appropriate image file types for a web page
- Add or modify image files
- Create numerous CSS rules/selectors and properties
- Define and differentiate between template and child pages
- Create a template page and add editable regions to create a multiple page website
- Use the template page to create child pages
- Change any text or image to a hyper link or email link
- Make pages interactive with images using Dreamweaver constructed JavaScript code
- Add video and audio to a web page
- Create a basic form and identify a forms components
The first four lessons deal with learning the Dreamweaver interface, HTML, basic concepts in Style Sheets, and basic web site design. Lessons five describes how to create a web page from layout created in Photoshop. It is very important that you learn how to create a Dreamweaver web page shell from lessons five and six before moving on to the other lessons. YOU learn how to use the software by practicing or using it repeatedly. If you only use once, it will not become second nature to you. My familiarity with the Adobe software is because I use the software A LOT.
Content: This course has evolved over the years. In the mid-1990s with the birth of the World Wide Web text-base retrieval of documents transformed to HTML and the modern day browser. The use of bulletin boards and chat rooms has evolved into the plethora of social media outlets. Early web pages were personal and quite "unique." By applying graphic design principles to web page creation, web pages became more interesting and useful. Now, this course, focuses on developing web pages, primarily for organizations. Dreamweaver, however, uses a commonly developed style sheet, called Bootstrap. Bootstrap was developed at Twitter and is used to create web pages that follow responsive design elements.
The links and supplement materials about design are meant be read and re-read. There is a lot to remember about designing web pages and you need to look at principles over and over again. Also, always look at web sites critically. What do you like about it as a user? What do you dislike about it as a user? What would you do different? What do you think would make the web page better. Think about what works well and does not work well, especially when designing a web page.
You will learn web page development by participating in discussions, taking quizzes over the reading material, completing the web page project/assignments. Our web page project assignments will be relatively "simple" initially, but will be more "complex" toward the end of the of the semester, which means creating multiple web pages.
Mercury Account (pages/mercury) or IU Personal Web Pages. As an IU student, you have access to a free web space on an IU server called Mercury. Your Dreamweaver web pages must be published to this web space on the IU mercury server. You must activate your own account by going to https://one.iu.edu/ and searching for it accounts. You will see various options, one of them is to create additional accounts. See the document for Creating a Mercury Account in Canvas for detailed information. Once you create the account, you should wait at least several hours (as much as 24) to permissions. As if this time, IU does not have an application for doing this with a Mac. I am happy to meet with you to help you complete this using a Windows PC. Unfortunately, if there are problems creating your your account, you will have to ask for help with the IU Help Desk in Bloomington. Again, the instructions will be available in Canvas.
Once you have activated your account must go to https://www.iu.edu/~accrec/mypage_agreement and complete the IU Agreement page. This states that you will only use this account the pages server for class assignments.
Creating your mercury accounts is an integral part of this course. Your web page projects must be posted to your IU web space to the appropriate folder in your web space so I can find it. You will be told to create this account during week one, and during week three you will to post a previously created web page to prove you created your account. You will provided specific instructions on how to do this and you must follow these instructions to post your project (web page) assignments.
Assignments and Projects
Graded Assignments: You will be required to complete a number of assignments or projects in the form of creating web pages and taking quizzes. Assignments will be posted in the Canvas Assignments navigation menu. In Information Technology (IT) field, projects have deadlines that you are required to meet. The same is required in this class. On the job, missing a deadline can be costly through the loss of a client or being reprimanded or terminated by an employer.
Thus, project assignments are due according to a set schedule. Late assignments will be penalized 50 percent. You will have a grace period of 3 days in which I will accept the penalized assignment. After three days, I will no longer accept the assignment without prior arrangement. Prior arrangements means you have discussed with me an extension before the assignment original due date, not after it is late. You MUST have provided some documentation regarding an emergency or other problem. If you have a problem with completing an assignment, notify me when the problem occurs, not the day it is due or later. I am willing to work with you, but not if you wait until the last minute, you risk being late and earning failing grade.
Project Submissions: All web page project assignments are to be uploaded (posted/published) to your mercury accounts. You are to post the URL of the assignment in Canvas, not the actual web page code. All projects are to be saved in a specifically name folder. For example, your first Dreamweaver assignment file will be saved in a specific folder as proj1_xx.html (where xx are your initials). You will post this file to your account on the mercury server. To test and display the web page in a browser, you will type a similar URL:username.pages.iu.edu/folder/proj1_xx.html in the browser address box. Once you verify your web page works, you will then paste this URL in the location provided in the assignment. Instructions for uploading your project folders will be found in Canvas File navigation link, under Course Notes.
Assignments will be open at least one week before they are due, giving you plenty of time to complete it. When the assignment is closed, after the three day grace period, I will not accept it. I will use the Assignment tool to post your assignment grade and any comments. I will also post all grades to the grade book. Projects must be posted to a specific location and specific folder on your pages web space so I can find it. If you fail to follow these directions, I will not be able to find your projects. If I cannot find your web page, I must assume you did not create it and post (upload) it, and you will get zero points. I will not argue with you about your inability to follow directions.
Do not send assignments to me via email. I will not accept them that way. Moreover, if you just attach an HTML file to email, it will be missing graphics and other potential files, and if I did grade it, you would not receive a passing grade for that assignment. It indicates you do not understand the basic nature of a web page and how web pages are delivered and viewed.
You are responsible to posting assignments properly as required in project specifications. I will not accept late assignment beyond above mentioned grace period, because you were not posting your assignments correctly. If you have problems with making this work, you need to seek help ASAP.
The Dreamweaver projects will be based on material in the Dreamweaver book. You will build a web site using skills learned from the lesson chapters. Each chapter builds on the previous chapter as you create an entire site. Your Dreamweaver web pages must be published to your web space on the IU mercury (pages) server.
Why? Due dates are important because work for a client is usually on a contract basis. Failure to submit to a client can be a breach of contract. Also, the need to post to your pages/mercury account is to give you experience in how to upload web pages and maintain web sites. Thus, it is important to know how to use a computer and manage your files and folders as indicated in the prerequisites.
Quizzes and Exams
QUIZZES, and EXAMS: Because quizzes are open all week, there should be no excuse for missing a quiz. The quizzes are over the Adobe Dreamweaver Classroom in a Book chapters (called Lessons) and other reading materials. The quizzes are open all week and will be available until 10 p.m. on the date due, unless otherwise noted. Most quizzes have 10 to 15 items over terms or principles. Please remember: there are no makeups for missed quizzes because they are open all week, which allows ample time for you to complete. If you miss a quiz, you lose the points. Do not wait until the last minute to attempt to take a quiz. If the quiz closes on you while in the middle because you waited until the last minute, I will not re-open for you. You lose the points.
Repeating: if you miss a quiz NO makeups will be granted. There will be no exceptions. If you miss a number of quizzes, or fail to post completed projects, you should think about dropping the course and taking it when your life is not so chaotic and interfering with your education.
Course Grades
GRADING SCALE Grades are calculated on total points earned for all assignments, projects, and quizzes. Plus and minus grades will be assigned. Please note: if your final average is 89% you will receive a "B+" not an "A-", students with a 59% will receive an "F". This is the grading procedure; you should make every effort that you do not fall short of your desired goal. If this course is REQUIRED by your major, you may be required to earn a grade of "C." Be aware of your school or department's requirements. If you miss that goal, do NOT come back and ask me to change the grade unless you can prove I made a mistake in totaling your points.
Grades will posted to the grade book on Canvas. If you received all the points, you will not receive anything back in terms of paper output. IF you did not receive all the points, I will print you project page and indicate your problems. Please check the grade book on a regular basis. A blank grade means I did not find your assignment or it was late. Once it is past the grace period I will change blanks to zero.
97 > A+ | 87 - 89 B+ | 77 - 79 C+ | 67 - 69 D+ |
94 - 96 A | 84 - 86 B | 74 - 76 C | 64 - 66 D |
90 - 93 A- | 80 - 83 B- | 70 - 72 C- | 60 - 63 D- |
EXTRA CREDIT No extra credit will be assigned through the semester. Do not look for extra credit. Each assignment clearly explains what you need to do to earn a grade of A+ and what you need to do to earn a D-. It will be YOUR choice. If you are not able to meet the criteria needed to achieve a specific grade as the course progresses, do not expect extra credit to salvage your grade. This course is based on specific projects and the quizzes. You must follow the guidelines and specifications for the projects. If you have trouble, it is your responsibility to see the instructor for help. If you wait until the last minute for help ... do not expect miracles.
Incompletes. The school bulletin and student handbook outline the procedure for granting an incomplete in a course. The student must have a passing grade and completed a substantial portion of the course work. Failure to keep up with assignments because of poor time management is not a valid reason for an incomplete. If you are failing because you are not taking quizzes or submitting assignments, you cannot receive an incomplete. In general, an incomplete is given in circumstances when you are unable to submit a final project or take a final exam. I do not care what your other professors have done or will do; I will follow the university policies.
Miscellaneous
Adding the course late. If you have added the course late, there is a quiz assignment over the syllabus that due is Friday the second week of classes, by 10 p.m., please be sure to take that quiz.
IU Personal web Pages. Dreamweaver web pages must be published to your web space on the IU mercury server. You may activate your own accounts by going to https://one.iu.edu/ and searching for it accounts. You will see various options, one of them is to create additional accounts. See the document for Creating a Mercury Account for detailed information. Unfortunately, if there are problems with your account, you will have to ask for help with the IU Help Desk in Bloomington.
Creating your mercury accounts is an integral part of this course. Your web page projects must be posted to your IU web space to the appropriate folder in your web space so I can find it. As I noted above, if you fail to follow these directions, I will not be able to find your projects and you will get zero points. I will not argue with you about your inability to follow directions. You are responsible to posting assignments properly as required in project specifications.
Tutor: The CIS Department may or may not have a tutor available who can help you outside of class. The purpose of a tutor is not to teach you everything, but to help clarify difficult concepts. If you need to see me during office hours do not expect me to teach the entire lesson to you privately. I will gladly help clarify any difficult steps, but I will not be able to present an entire Lesson's contents to you individually.
Announcements. I will post announcements on almost a weekly basis. You should, however, check announcements every few days in the event of an emergency. So, please be sure to check announcements on a regular basis.
Software. IU has settled on a deal with Adobe to make the Creative Cloud (CC) Suite available to students that you may download through IUWare. Please see the current instructions at IUWare as they change periodically.
Course Files. A CD with course files are no longer supplied with the book. See inside the back cover where the CD used to be provided and retrieve the Digital Features Access Code. Follow the instructions on the back side of this insert. You can also find the files in the Files navigation link in the Dreamweaver Classroom in a Book folder.
Internet Down. I am sorry to hear if your Internet connection went down and failed to work. However, there are over 100 computers available in the library and Student Technology Centers (STC). I am also sorry if it is inconvenient for you to come to campus in the event your Internet connection went down, but you are must still complete your assignments on time. Please keep this in mind when planning your schedule for completing all your class assignments so you can adjust appropriately in the case of an Internet connection failure, do not wait until 8 p.m. Friday night. This is subject to change in the event the campus must close do to the Pandemic.
LAB RULES. The Student Technology Center (STC) in Marram, Library Commons, Portage, and Arts and Sciences building will have the Adobe software. IUN Policy is clearly detailed in the STC web page. Other rules are posted in and around the labs. Please observe these rules.
Open Labs. The only open labs are the library and Marram Student Technology Centers. The Raintree and Hawthorn classrooms are not open outside of class periods. Check with the Help Desk in HH 108 for times.
