Resources for Web Developers

The Web Guidelines Group's function is to assist you in identifying your web development needs and locating the resources to help you accomplish your goals.  This may include analysis, dissemination of standards and tips, training, site review, and in some cases, Web programming.

The Technical Requirements assume that you are familiar with the basics of developing web documents.  If you are not, consulting one of the many on-line tutorials on HTML and the Internet may be helpful to you.  For some, learning from books and tutorials is not the preferred method for effective learning.

If you are more comfortable in a classroom setting, Staff and Program Development classes are offered periodically by Human Resources to introduce faculty and staff to the basics of HTML and other Web generating issues.  In addition, SCC offers a variety of web programming and web graphics classes through the Internet Technologies program.  You can also contact Wilma Hodges, Manager of Distance Learning Services, or Joni Lytle, Instructional Technology Specialist in the Distance Learning Department, for individual training in FrontPage web authoring software, and for assistance in converting existing documents and/or developing your web pages.  If you are also interested in the ANGEL online course development and enhancement tool, please see the Faculty Support Information for step by step instructions on establishing ANGEL web sites.

Any questions you might have regarding web development at SCC should be addressed to websupport@scc-fl.edu.  Questions about the ANGEL online course development and enhancement tool should be addressed to hodgesw@scc-fl.edu.
