Shortcut to Learning (Basic) HTML

Chicago eLearning and Technology Showcase August 15, 2017

Logic Test

Supposedly this is one of the questions prospective Apple software developers may have to answer during a job interview.

There are three boxes. One contains only apples, one contains only oranges, and one contains both apples and oranges. The boxes have been incorrectly labeled such that no label identifies the actual contents of the box it labels. Opening just one box, and without looking in the box, you take out one piece of fruit. By looking at the fruit, how can you immediately label all of the boxes correctly?"

Description

HTML5 (and associated web development technologies) are the basis for much of what we see on the internet. Yet, learning how to perform even basic web development can be difficult for non-technical, instructional design-types.

As eLearning matures, there is a risk that over-reliance on authoring tools can limit how you can support performance and keep pace with changes.

We will demystify web development techniques and show basic (or neophyte) users how to build web pages using shortcuts and templates. You will receive a thumb drive with starter files and job aids to use to continue their learning after the session.

Objectives

Summarize why web development is increasingly important to professionals in the performance improvement, performance support, and learning fields
Build or modify web pages to perform typical functions
Identify next steps and resources for further development
