I got the list of points to cover from the "HTML Basics and Web Standards Concepts" learning module of web design 1 - see http://www.w3.org/community/webed/wiki/Interact/Web_Design_1#HTML_Basics.2C_Web_Standards_Concepts, so really this is aimed at Web Design 1, rather than Foundations. The current list of learner competencies for this learning module is Create a site folder Identify the appropriate use of attributes and the syntax of attributes Recognize the difference between HTML and XHTML Identify the various DOCTYPES Explain the need for web standards Identify deprecated tags. I felt that this list needed a little fleshing out, so the list of competencies I eventually wrote up was Explain what web standards are, and why they are needed Know what files comprise a web site Create a site folder Understand the anatomy of an HTML element — tags, content, attributes Understand what an empty element is Identify the appropriate use of attributes and the syntax of attributes Recognize the difference between HTML and XHTML Identify the various DOCTYPES, including HTML5 Identify deprecated tags Know the structure of a basic HTML page Do you agree with this list, or am I over-egging this somewhat? And do you think it is the best idea to make a set of resources for each learning competency? I thought it better to make them pretty granular, so educators can pick and choose as they need. Last point - there is nothing to stop us reusing some of this material to make some other education resources for other modules. so we can chop and change. > > Do you plan to link to the materials from somewhere in the curriculum page > or to add them into the curriculum page? > I was planning to at least link them from the curriculum pages, but again, this is up for discussion, as to what is best. > > Chris Mills wrote: > >> Hello, fellow web ed folk, >> >> It has been a long time coming, but I've finally finished creating a prototype >> set of teaching material for one of the learning modules in the Web Design 1 >> curriculum. >> >> See here for what I've done so far: >> >> http://www.w3.org/community/webed/wiki/HTML_Basics_and_Web_Standards_Concepts_ >> teaching_materials >> >> Please, give me feedback - what content is missing?
