Resources

 

General

Web site design

Patrick Lynch and Sarah Horton's Web Style Guide is, I feel, the best single resource for educators to learn how to create well-designed Web sites and pages.

Jakob Nielsen's AlertBox at useit.com is a gold-plated resource for Web usablity by design. Read, listen, learn.

Visit Big Nose Bird for a collection of design tutorials, resources and links. From beginner to techno-wizard, every web author/designer should have this site bookmarked.

Build a more effective website with advice from BUILDER.COM . Find builder forums, valuable articles, cool tools, downloads, reviews and much more. Bookmark and visit often.

desktopPublishing.com is a web design resource megasite. Links in many categories covering a extensive list of web design topics and graphics.

You'll find an excellent series of design articles and tutorials in Dmitry's Design Lab. It's well organized and well presented. One of the best resource sites available.

About.Com's Web Design presents a comprehensive set of links to web design info. Original articles, reviews and timely features, too.

The Web Developer's Virtual Library is one of the Web's premier resource collections for webmasters and web designers. Click on the Tutorials tab for a good set of online tutorials about Web page development.

 

Web Teaching

Sarah Horton's Web Teaching Guide is the best source on the Web and in print on how to use the Web well to enhance teaching and learning. Written particularly for those who are interested in Web-enabling a traditional, on-site, course. Also quite useful is Sarah's Dartmouth Web site on Web Teaching.

 

FTSS Resources page

“How do I assign letter grades using Excel?” “How do I sign up for a WebBoard?” “Is there a good Web site devoted to helping me how to learn about teaching on the Web?” These are just a few of the questions you can get answered via links on the FTSS Resources page.
