Green Awareness:  WWW Page Extra Details

Your WWW site need not be extensive but should attempt to draw together sites you have found useful in answering the question, aim for a linked series of material not just one page. It should also contain your own thoughts and the structure should aim to integrate your answer with the sources used. Microsoft word can be used to author WWW pages (save as .html) and web authoring tools can be found in Netscape (composer; the little pen and paper in the bottom of your browser) are adequate. If you have never attempted to construct a WWW page open composer (click the pen and paper) then click help on the menu-bar, click help-contents or press F1, then click "creating web pages" that appears on the left. This will guide you through the basics, of course if you are more experienced let your creativity flow. Don't forget using a search engine with phrases such as web design, web authoring etc. will turn up loads of links. There is also helpful advice within the University.

Criteria:
The mark for your web page/s will be based on the following:

PRESENTATION AND EXECUTION (40% weighting):

• The front page needs to look interesting enough to make someone go onto subsequent pages e.g. use of a simple title and/or an eye-catching picture
• Each page should not read like a mini-essay. The text should be broken up into small, readable segments with headings
• Sentences should be short. ‘bullet’ points (or similar) are often helpful
• Use of images and, perhaps, simple graphs. Poorly reproduced and irrelevant images are often worse than none at all
• Spelling, grammar and syntax should be accurate
• Do not crowd the pages with text and/or pictures
• Take advantage of the non-linear characteristics of the web (try not to make your interaction with it like a book)

• Avoid wherever possible the use of jargon or, if it needs to be used, explain what it means
• Make sure the information is factually correct
• Try not to get too technical, or overly detailed, answer the question with your substantiated views
• Think about the message you are trying to convey via the web pages. What is its aim?
• Don't reiterate material link to in in the context of your own pages.
