Good morning Colleagues, I'm teaching two sections of LIS590LWL Web Design and Construction for Organizations - an introduction to Web Design, XHTML, CSS etc. for UIUC LEEP again this summer. I require each student to work with a 'client' to redesign an existing Web site for a non-profit organization, preferably* a special, academic, school, or public library, or library organization. The course begins June 14 and ends August 6, 2009. Students may also choose the library they currently work in or a non-profit organization known to them to work with. So, if you would like to be on the list of projects for my students to consider please email me with the following information: These are Library School students working through Distance Learning who are just beginning with Web Design, XHTML etc. What we are looking for is small scale redesign projects, e.g., one area of a larger site - or a new design for a special patron group. Students will give you a re-design plan and example pages and work that you may use or you may reject their re-design plan. Their grade is not affected directly by whether you accept their work or not, but by how well they communicate with you and how well they address your expressed re-design, usability, and accessibilty needs. I cannot guarantee that any of my students will choose your projects. Also, some larger scale projects, the students may form teams to work on them. I cannot guarantee that my students will have any programming skills beyond the ability to code in standard xhtml and external CSS. But, sometimes I get more advanced students in this course. What I need from you: 1. Contact person(s) with email and telephone numbers (this would be the 'client' that students are expected to interview and interact with cooperatively to come up with design options) 2. The URL of the current Web site (if there is one - otherwise URL of the overall site associated with your organization) 3. Brief description of what you would like to have done with the site. 4. A commitment by the contact person(s) to be available by email or Webchat from the beginning of June through the beginning of August, 2010 to work with my students. This is critical. I will respond to you whether your project fits our scope in terms of time and expertise of students and verify you want to be on the list. Thank you! Diane *Students may work on a commercial Web site and even ask to be paid for it but I need to look at each project on a site by site basis for approval. -------- Diane K.
