I have added a new header with a bigger U Of C logo.  I've also reorganized the navigation bar. 

Audio clips with brief descriptions of each theme they cover are now posted In Bb Course documents

See the Google Sites Design page for areas labeled "New"  http://sites.google.com/site/coms463w10/assignments/project-management/google-sites-design

Links to your final websites are now on the front page of this COMS 463 course website, in the upper right corner.

I've reorganized and supplemented the section under Assignments‎ > ‎Project Management‎ > ‎Google Sites design‎ > ‎It now includes 3 subpages

• Textual Features
• Visual Features
  
• Tips and Troubleshooting(NEW)
  

Learning from what I see on your own pages, I decided to add more visual texture to the home page. What do you think?  Here is how I did the black on pink, followed by the black on grey. 

• I created the headings using the editing tools "Format - level 2 heading." 
• Then I highlighted it with a light pink. 

April 14 Presentation -- page now posted.  See our navigation bar, just above "Assignments." -- Direct link:  http://sites.google.com/site/coms463w10/april-14-presentation

FYI I changed some of your EC team management sites' Tab icons so that I could distinguish your sites from each other in browser tabs.  I also changed our own website's tab icon to this:



Google Sites enables you to choose the Tab icon, or "FAVICON," that appears on browser tabs, like the Bb icon on a Blackboard tab. 

How?

Favicons can be generated by

1. Creating a very simple image
2. Processing it through a favicon generator like http://www.favicon.co.uk/
   
3. Uploading it into the site. Click the "More Actions" drop-down tab in the upper right, then Manage Site, and then in the "Attachments" area upload your new favicon.ico file at the top level.  It must be named exactly "favicon.ico" and be at the top level of the site.
   

I've just uploaded into your Inherited Documents folder (in Bb course documents) some files within the "All Photos and Media With Consent" folder --

1. SERVICE LEARNING AND SUSTAINABILITY EDUCATION -- I've added a 1-page pdf with links to the Mp3 files for the Telelearning Seminar that I and Breanna did on Service-learning and Education for Sustainable Development.  You can take audio clips from me and Bre and make podcasts of them, and you can also quote in print what participants said during the telelearning seminar.  It is published online; I give advice on how to cite it.

2. PEER MENTORING -- See 3 Power points and a visual model that explain the program at the U of C.  One of them focuses on the relation between peer mentoring and service-learning.

I just went in to change the wording on co-authorship in the 35% Team Website and Presentation assignment so that it explains that we don't want too many pages to be co-authored.  It adds too much complexity and it also defeats the purpose of having each student and peer reviewer held accountable individually for the quality of their pages.
