Target Skills
So, whatis typically expected of students who have passed an introductory
course in website design and development? What would your friends and
family expect of you?
(a) Help me set up a new website for a person or family or small business.
(b) Help me modify an existing website.
(c) Help me fix problems with an existing website. For example, why does
it load so slowly?
(d) How do I buy a domain name?
(e) Do I need a security certificate for my website?
(f) How do I arrange for hosting?
(g) How do I back up my website?
(h) What about website “generators” for things like blogging?
These are the target skills, which we could also call exit skills. They are the
skills that enable students to overcome their own web design problems and
to solve website design problems for others.
