This section will give a basic overview of the project and the organisation behind it.
The first two weeks of the ICT program consists of an assignment in which you convince the teachers that you are really motivated for the ICT study program by building a showcase portfolio website.
At the end of the two weeks you will present the result to a panel of teachers and students. How do you convince the teachers of your ICT talent and your motivation for this study programme?
ICT talent is foremost shown by your capability to develop your technical skills and being able to apply technical knowledge. It is about the willingness to learn, to try (and fail often), to seek (for help, for information). Whether you are an absolute beginner or someone who has already experienced in programming, ICT talent is shown by an attitude and development.
Motivation is foremost shown by communicating a message. Your showcase website contains a Personal Profile, where you present yourself. As an upcoming IT specialist, you must be able to convey your message towards a certain group (in this case your teachers). This is your opportunity to start developing that skill. What will I present of myself? What tone or words do I use to be convincing? What word font or colors do I use? Is my code well structured and readable? What other examples will I present that reflect the best who I am and why I am really motivated for this study program? And all the time you are aware of the target group, the teachers, you are sending your message to.
After this course, you can use this website to showcase your project outcome and other learning experiences. In the third quarter of this year you will use the site to learn about developing web applications.
Briefly description of the goals of the project. This will give you as a developer an idea of what you are trying to achieve, which will enable you to suggest the most appropriate solutions.
So, your assignment is to decide on how to communicate that message with the website, select and learn the skills you think you need to show your willingness to learn. Develop the website and prepare yourself for that pitch. And, finally, do the presentation.
Below you will find all the requirements that your website must comply to. Use this regularly to check whether or not your project is complete.
Content structure, or Information Architecture (IA), is comprised of various parts and will depend on the complexity and size of your website content.
This is usually provided as a diagram which shows the ‘tree’ type, hierarchical structure of the website pages.
The landing page of the site (index) is the page that the visitor arrives at when he enters the URL of your website (without a specific .html file). This is often also referred to as the home or index page.
