Lecture/ Tutorial/ Reflection

LECTURE
In last week Lecture, Daniel hand out the course work which is to develop a Website which is due in after Easter holidays. He start explaining that the course work is to design a Website for a fictional small shop selling music Cd's and DVDs. Although all the detail requirements were mention in the Assignment page but he explained further by explaining that the first page should be a Flash page and by clicking on the enter site should lead to the Homepage, but what he added is that use such fonts and design that connects the Flash page to the Homepage so that one can see the connection that it is the same website instead leaving a person confusing that you have opened a different website by using different font and design on Flash and using totally different on the homepage.
TUTORIAL
In todays Tutorial we were working with images, sound and video in Dreamweaver. We were first asked to download files into our webspace from blackboard. We then opend petsparade file and we can see Home and Cats button then we inserted but-dogs.gif button through the insert mode from menu. We then have to add a link to the the text either by dragging the link icon to the text or simply select the text and type in the link. Sound and video are included in the same way as each other. The easiet way is in the code view of XHTML page. In order to play wheelsoffire.wmv file we are required to enter the code this will work for most common video and audio formats.
REFLECTION
This coursework is really important to score well as Daniel said this is course work carries 60% of your final result marks. As this course work to develop a Website will take a lot of time thinking because its all about how creative your mind is and how much have you leared and how well you can use the tools. As in the Tutorial we were taught how to link the buttons and which format can be used to insert Video or Audio files as this can help us in the final course work and giving us more option to think and how to bring them in use.
