Where Can I Find Help Creating a Syllaweb of My Own?

College of DuPage Courses:  College of DuPage offers many courses in such things as html, graphics, and web design.  Search the Quarterly Online to see what's available in upcoming quarters.

COD Information Technology Pages:  IT's Web Publishing page includes sample COD banners, footers, and templates for non-official pages.  If you are publishing on the college server, you will need to fill out and submit a WWW Electronic Request form

Faculty Development Workshops: The Communications Discipline's Computer Users Group plans to sponsor, via the Teaching and Learning Center, several workshops on Syllaweb Development and Publishing throughout the 2000-2001 academic year.  Anyone who would like one-on-one help developing web pages should contact Kathy Fitch at (630)942-3367 or FitchK@cdnet.cod.edu.

Online Tools:

"Syllaweb was developed by Dr. Karen H. Bonnell of the University of Southern Indiana as a tool for educators to create an entire Internet website from one basic template. Things you will need to use the Syllaweb are: an Internet browser/editor such as Netscape Communicator with Page Composer; an email address; web hosting and file transfer capability."

The Syllaweb Resource: "These pages, developed for the The Epiphany Project, provide guidelines, resources, and examples for instructors who wish to place syllabi and other materials on the Web."

Illinois Online Network:  Hosted by University of Illinois, ION is designed to serve as a resource for community college instructors interested in online learning.  See especially ION's collection of Online Education Resources, many of which focus on issues of design and accessibility for webbed course materials. ION also offers online tutorials, a newsletter delivered via email, and many courses and seminars throughout the year.

Bauer-Gatsos, Sheila.    "The Syllaweb in the On-line Composition Classroom."  http://www.lehigh.edu/~ejg1/cwc/sheila.html (08 February 2001).  Describes the unfolding of a syllaweb project from initial assumptions and plans through final incarnations, examining challenges and surprises along the way.  An excellent, balanced study.

Denlinger, Lisa.  "Oncourse: Providing an Opportunity for Change." Indiana University. 9 July 1999.  http://www.iupui.edu/ ~uits/cpo/oncourse/pelaez.html (08 February 2001). Although this faculty profile deals with a specific delivery system, its tracing of a teacher's struggles and epiphanies as she moves into online learning environments captures the sort of evolution common to many, courseware notwithstanding.

Ortiz, Eugene.  "Ethical Considerations to Syllaweb Design: A Dialogic Approach." http://english.ttu.edu/grad/ortiz/WebEth1.htm (08 February 2001).  Examines how syllawebs can be designed to support constructivist pedagogies.
