WWW Information Page Requirements
Preparing the Project Information WWW Page
Your project group should design and implement an HTML file of information
to be made available to internet users. The file must contain the
appropriate HTML formatting characters that will allow your
favorite world wide web browser to display your information page
(your text file).
Your group has a free hand in both the creation and implementation of the
information page file, to incorporate essentially any elements and forms that
you choose to use. The following content elements are the minimum elements
that your WWW information page must contain:
- A group identification section --- who you are
- A brief history of the project and the project's environment
- A Project identification section --- what is the nature of the project
- Description of the project's goals and objectives
- The Project Plan --- how the group will achieve the goals and objectives
- A description of the project's risks and the associated contingencies
- A set of related bibliographic sources that may be of interest to readers
Your WWW page should be just that .... essentially a single
displayed page.
All references to additional information must use elements of the
displayed page to allow viewers to selectively choose the various
viewing sections that you provide. While some of the minimal sections
of this requirement statement can probably fit on the WWW page; others
because of their size will require some additional reference pages in
order to allow the viewers to fully see the information contained in
the overall project documentation page of information. The notion of
requiring a viewer to scroll down your page to find critical information
most often results in either the information not being found or the
reader gives up in frustration, or both. Obviously this makes the
creativity factor of the design of a WWW page a bit more complex. It
is critical to place as much information on a single page
as you need to achieve the purposes of the page but in a manner that
enhances the reader's ability to view the document. For the most part, we
tend to be extremely wordy in simple presentations; a trait that is
not consistent with using a single displayed page for a WWW page.
WWW Information Page Evaluation Factors
Your page will be evaluated using several factors:
- creativity and style
- conformance to minimal content requirements
- organization and structure that promotes reading
- validity of references and HTML links
- quality of page information
- functionality of the page elements
- degree of interest generated by the page
The Group's WWW Informational Page should contain the critical
elements of your group's project, from the history and background to
the critical deliverables.
The page should provide the viewer a clear
perspective of the issues, problems, plans, and recommendations of the
group's project.
The grading of this assignment will be accomplished using the Internet Explorer browser.
