The page below represents the following requirements of the Online Communication & Collaboration Challenge 1.3. Because it is intended as a framework and mock-up for an idealized class, not all elements are built out or have hyperlinked areas to follow.
Based on your teacher website research and the summary within your blog post, create a general class website that includes the key elements you identified as most important:
Appropriate credentials and authority on subject-matter
Easy to find contact information
Accurate subject-matter expertise displayed through relevant, easy-to-understand materials or media.
Streamlined site with no clutter or extraneous elements to distract students.
Integrate your infographic, about proper etiquette for online communication, as a part of your class website.
