Project Assignment: Group Project 1: Design Document

The group project topic is a guide to RIT and IT computer resources—labs, accounts, tutors, documentation, etc.

Create a design document for your group’s site, using the guidelines provided in the Webmonkey Information Architecture tutorial.

The document should be submitted to my dropbox in myCourses no later than the beginning of class on Thursday, January 22nd. A printed copy of the document should be brought to class on that day. Page mock-ups can be included as part of the document (screen shots and diagrams), or you can provide an URL to a web-based mock-up as part of the design document.

Only one document should be submitted per group.

Files and Links for Javascript Exercises

Here’s a zipped archive of the files for today.

As a reminder, I asked you to put up your own versions of example 1, modify example 5 to use a switch statement and include a mouseout command for the graphics, and create your own drop down navigational menu using the simple menu from example 6.
