Management assignment and Toronto travel has kept me from doing much on the class for nearly a week.

Spent about three hours working in CourseBuilder,

• trying to figure out how to do quizzes where the question is in one one frame and the feedback is in another.....awkward... haven't got it to work :-/

Spent about four hours working in Dreamweaver, Frames, and trying to get CourseBuilder Action Manager to write a script that returns feedback text to .bottom_frame.

• Worked in frames... setting up pages, trying to get the scripts to work
• Successfully created prototype quiz page in a frameset

Spent 4 hrs plus on design.

• Decided on 615 pixel table for all content pages.
  • 615 works best in an OLP where 175 pixels are used up with the navigation bar.
• Redid every page layout.
  • Added a red line background
  • put table with padded cells on all pages, for indent (keep color out of color).
• Put 0 on top margin for all pages, so header flushes perfectly. No white space at top.

Spent 4 hrs plus on design.

• Redid the site structure
  • directories for case_study, skills, and each quiz step.
• Perhaps not completely efficient, but since I edited the Action Manager and scripts in Course Builder, I created separate folders for each quiz section, and re-created scripts, js files, etc. for each folder.
• Started building frameset pages for quizzes

Spent about 3 hours just working on frameset pages for quizzes.

Built about 30. God this is tedious. I wish they could be more easily copied as templates... but when I do that, I can't seem to get the scripts that return feedback to the bottom frame to work. :-/

Completed, finally, the entire course structure.

I have pages built for everything. Don't have content on all the pages, but all the pages built, and navigation.

Put the course in WebTycho.

• Put syllabus components in the syllabus feature, disabled what I could (stuck with the non-functioning Course Description and the set Grade Policies, which, obviously do not apply)
• Disabled as many features as I could
• Put Course Guide under Course Content (which opens a new window)
• Also linked First page of each skill section in Course Content, but I left assessment and Case Study out, since I didn't want frames within frames. It should be clear enough that they run off of the Course Guide (will see if anyone complains about that)
• Put up announcement... got a red theme going.
• Built my conferences

Was fun to look at WebTycho features again. Been a few changes since I last saw them.

Spent a couple hours.

• Kept tweaking the design.
• Reworked Skills section on Module 4.
• Moved the business about folders and names up in module 2

• Revised the Course Guide.
• It replaces the OLD Course Guide, which may too busy.
  • asked students which course guide they preferred; one preferred one, the other preferred the other. I don't know. I like them both.
  • Will probably go with the one that gives the appearance of not being too overwhelming....
• Wrote 7 review questions for Module One and coded them for feedback.

Received feedback from Dolph and Carolyn.

Both were interested in the Case Study, want to go through that when I complete the parts.

Both Carolyn and Dolph noticed that when they went through the Review Questions and clicked on the Next Question button, the bottom frames kept piling up, one on top of the other.

• Stupid me! I linked to the frameset, but I didn't put in an "_parent" to get out of the PREVIOUS frame set.
• Since I didn't have this in a library or template (because I couldn't get CourseBuilder scripts to work with such features), I had to redo the links on all 50 pages, adding "_parent" over and over aand over again.

Carolyn found a couple typos. Fixed.

Dolph had trouble with the publishing part.

I think I will try to use Tripod instead. Something that will be free and available to anyone, regardless of school or Web account.
