I.  Create your Webpage to Market your course

Students will want to find out about your class before they sign up for it.  A good professional home page will help students get to know you and provide information about your classes.  In this assignment, you will create or update your Cuyamaca or Grossmont webpage to include information about your online class.  If you teach at another campus, you can create a webpage on your campus.  If you do not have access to web resources, you can create a document that shows what your webpage might look like.  You will need to create/edit your webpage and create at least one course page about your online class. 

If you don't know how to use Sharepoint or Dreamweaver, contact your campus resource to create a new page. Click on the Campus Support page to find out who helps with webpages on your campus.  You may also create a Myspace or Facebook page for his assignment (feel free to do all).  Go to the GCCCD staff directory and randomly click on various letters of the alphabet.  You will then see a list of faculty names, alphabetically.  If the name is underlined, that faculty member has a webpage.  Click on various faculty to view their webpage examples to give you ideas for your webpage.  For example, here is my webpage:  www.cuyamaca.edu/cindymorrin

Here are some things to consider including as you create/update your web page:

  • contact information
  • personal biography
  • photo
  • office hours
  • links to the dynamic enrollment for your classes (just search the dynamic schedule for your name and class and copy and paste the URL into FrontPage)
  • a list of your courses with links to more information (course page, syllabus, etc.)
  • a link to WebCT or Blackboard

Your main course page should include general information for prospective students and link to more detailed information for enrolled students.  Your main page should include:

  • a brief description of the class
  • information about how your online class will work
  • what new students need to do to get started (including information about orientation, supplies, technical requirements, & books)
  • a link to your home page

Submitting work

  • If you have created/edited a webpage, just turn in a Word file with the web address.
  • Upload and submit your file(s) to Blackboard under Assignments.
