-- Adobe Photoshop is the standard by which all other imaging software packages are compared. This course (and Robin Williams) promote a designer approach to web authoring. Designer pedagogic aesthetics will be emphasized, and your required homework exercises and project work with Photoshop on your home computer will determine whether your site meets the standards for pedagogic aesthetics set in the course.

-- At the end of the course, as time permits, we will spend a session exploring the use of sound in websites. Students today are very multimedia oriented--voice snippets and audio effects can have high impact, just as your vocal presence in the classroom. Audacity is a wonderful open source software foundation project which makes audio editing as easy as wordprocessing. ($FREE download...click on icon)
