This is the introductory course for students seeking to learn more about online journalism and web publications in general. The course can also serve as an upper-division COM elective for other communication students taking public relations, broadcasting, or print journalism. Journalism students or those interested in learning web design techniques using Macintosh Dreamweaver, a WYSIWYG web editor that requires little background in html code, will find this course useful. A basic introduction to html code will be followed by experiences of designing and posting various multimedia onto designated web sites.
