Term project COAP 2100

Task: Create a little website

1. Define some clear objectives and requirements for your term project
2. Implement the website with an online service

Constraints:

1. You should use one of the following online services:
   • http://sites.google.com/ (web site generator)
   • https://www.blogger.com/ (blogger service)
   • http://www.ning.com/ (social network creator)
   • http://netvibes.com/ (start page/webtop)
   • http://wikispaces.com (wiki service)
   • Until week 6, you may suggest another technology.
2. As a general rule, your website should include between 4 and 6 subpages. A well-designed webtop can use less, blogs should include at least 3 posts plus some extra information (e.g. some useful "gadgets").
3. You should select a theme that fits the purpose of your web site
4. You must shortly spell out the objectives, the target audience and other requirements. You may use a subpage, a widget or any other device for that.

Note:

• If your project is ambitious, you may just fill in the most important pages (e.g. the welcome message) and provide 3-4 examples.

Evaluation:

• Presence of objectives (i.e. can a user figure out what they are ?)
• Does the result fit your objectives
• Overall coherence and ergonomics
• Contents: Do they look "real" ?
• Style
• Technical quality (e.g. no broken links)
• Presentation (including questions you may have to answer regarding the above points)

Submission

• Due: Monday week 6, before start of class
• Submit an URL to the Worldclassroom "Term project" assignment
• In addition, each student must shortly present his/her project on Monday week 8. You will have to present the website and its purpose (do not prepare any presentation materials, e.g. PPTs)
