There are five files needed for this assignment. You should have already downloaded these files. See Data Files for Students for more information.
Tutorial 2, Case Problem 3
Diamond Health Club, Inc.
Tutorial 2, Case Problem 3 is presented in your textbook starting on page 113.
You work for Diamond Health Club, and your job is to make changes to their old website.
Make yourself familiar with the grading rubric provided on our Assignment webpage. The final design of your Diamond Health Club website is up to you. Be creative. Maybe you will earn a promotion . Your design should consider how users of your site will navigate from webpage to webpage, and within webpages.
The sample files given to your for this assignment use HTML that are examples of how you will construct your own HTML as our class progresses. So, learn from this. Tutorial 2 explains the purpose of these HTML tags. Take advantage and make sure you understand. The sample files do NOT contain all the minimum HTML you are required to include in all your webpages as explained by in Strategy for editing HTML.
You should complete Case Problem 1 and Case Problem 2 even though they are not part of your graded assignment. Doing so will make completing Tutorial 3 a better learning experience.
If, after reviewing Tutorial 3, you wish a bigger challenge, you may choose to complete Tutorial 4 instead. Please send George eMail if you decide to complete Tutorial 4 (Mansfield Classical Theatre) as your graded assignment instead of Tutorial 3.
Once you have your webpages on Tulane's CPST WebServer, what is the URL (web address) to your pages? The URL to my CPST website is : http://cpst.tulane.edu/~gnorth/. On my website, inside my "public_html" folder, is a webpage named "rebootAmerica.html". The URL to this webpage is http://cpst.tulane.edu/~gnorth/cpst24010/rebootAmerica.html. Notice that the folder named "public_html" is invisible in the URL. All your webpages will be contained inside your "public_html" folder. You are free to make folders inside "public_html". For example, if I make a folder named "Tutorial_2", and placed "rebootAmerica.html" inside "Tutorial_2", then the URL would be : http://cpst.tulane.edu/~gnorth/cpst24010/Tutorial_2/rebootAmerica.html. Do you see the difference?
Before beginning this task:
- Advice: Don't start this assignment without first reading Tutorial 2 in your text book.
- This is up to you, but you may want to make a new folder on your computer, and on your Tulane CPST WebSite to contain all the files for this project. For a number of reasons, it is good practice to use folders to group related files, not the least of which is to make it easier for you to separate them from unrelated files.
separate (as in "classify") v. : arrange or order by classes or categories.
- Name all of your web pages for this project similarly. Like this: T2CP3_uniqueName.html (use a name you make up, not uniqueName). This means that you will be renaming all the sample files.
- HINT: When naming webpages, the underscore character ... " _ " ... is the only special character allowed. You should NEVER use space character in names, use underscore instead. Web pages are named using letters, numbers, and underscore ONLY ... that's it, NO OTHER CHARACTERS. To be compatible with the largest number of web servers, you should limit webpage names to 31 characters.
- You are provided with 4 webpages that contain enough HTML to get you started. Remember, our HTML template page -- you must make certain your new pages reflect all HTML demonstrated in the template page.
- Use one of the search sites on the Web to locate other websites with Health related topics. You can link to, or use content from the sites you find. If you use content from another site, you must reference the site in the same way you would use a footnote to credit sources when writing a paper.
To complete this task:
- Once you become familiar with all of the material available for your Web site, create a storyboard for the site. In the storyboard include all of the filenames of the Web pages and indicate any links between the pages. Storyboarding is discussed in the textbook starting on page 62.
- Tutorial 2, Case Problem 3 is described in detail in the textbook beginning on page 113. There are 23 items listed under "Complete the Following". For your learning, complete them all, but be sure you complete those required by the grading rubric. Don't forget to document every graded element of your assignment as per the grading rubric.
- Create the site you outlined in your storyboard. The design of the WebSite is up to you, but your code should follow correct HTML syntax rules for XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
- To make this as easy as possible for you, review our Strategy for editing HTML
When you are finished:
- Use FTP to upload your completed web page to your Tulane CPST WebSite.
- Copy the URL of your website's main page and paste it into a new eMail message to George (gnorth@tulane.edu). Subject of this eMail MUST be "Tutorial 2 - Case Problem 3"
- Turn-in what you have finished by 11:59PM, Friday and I will provide you feedback. You can still make changes and turn-in again before due date.
Note: When we reach the end of our class, ALL of the web pages you created should still be available on your website. So, make sure NOT to delete any older pages, and to use unique names for all pages. This will be easier if you place pages for each assignment in their own folders of your website. Send George eMail if you are confused by this.
