Term project COAP 2100

Task: Create a little website that has a purpose of your choice

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.mixxt.org/ (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. Within your web site, you must shortly specify the objectives, the target audience and other requirements. You may use a sub-page, a widget or any other device for that.
5. You are not allowed to "sell" a prior website, except homework 1 (this can be easily tested by the instructor). You may use prior contents though.

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 criteria:

• 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 (be able to clearly present a project in 3 minutes)
• On time (that includes your presentation in class !)

Submission

• Due: Wednesday week 8, before start of class
• Submit an URL to the Worldclassroom "Term project" assignment
• In addition, each student must very shortly present his/her project on Wednesday week 8. You will have exactly 3 minutes to present the purpose of your project and discuss the results.
