For next week
- Read at least two style guides and use them to improve your own personal web page
- Read the set of "visions" from our class
- Look at the visions from last fall
- Look at the Open University (UK) web site
- Write a synthesis, comparing and contrasting the visions
- Add this to your own vision (with links to the others you reference)
- Write a proposal for your major project (send via email, send URL or turn in on paper)
- What question do you want to address or what goal do you have?
- What audience do you have for your project?
