+Fast Track to Dreamweaver: basic to advanced web design classes

Course Duration: 40 hours

Tuition: $1200 US

Prerequisite: Art degree helpful or a basic understanding of the internet is all that is nessessary.

Overview: In this class participants can learn the basics or engage the instructor on personal projects. Dreamweaver has become one of the industry's leading Website design editing and management tools. This course is designed for students who wish to evaluate the Macromedia Dreamweaver web design tool or who would like to learn to use it. The emphasis is on learning to use Dreamweaver as a tool to create a website, rather than on learning the basic concepts of Web design and we move very quickly. However, all questions about basic web design concepts will be answered.

Instructional methods: Each class period will consist primarily of lectures and demonstrations ranging from 60-90 minutes in the morning session and once again after lunch in the afternoon session. Lessons will be given on a main screen projector and there will be small classes usually under four students. After the demonstration, students will be required to work on in-class assignments that will reiterate the day's lesson plan. Course notes will be provided as reference, however, students should be drafting their own, in-depth notes, for a better grasp on the software. Homework is not assigned but practice makes perfect.
