There are a variety of resources on campus for learning the technical
skills you'll need to design and develop a web project, for getting advice
on the effective use of the web medium, and for troubleshooting any problems
that may arise:
- IT Education Services
offers a wide variety of short computer training and education workshops
over the course of each semester. The workshops
on web design and development are highly recommended for anyone
looking for a thorough, systematic introduction to the Dreamweaver,
Flash, or Fireworks web development tools. A nominal fee is charged
for these workshops, and you do need to register in advance on the ITES
web page.
- Knowledge Navigation Center
consultants are highly trained in using a variety of web development
tools and can help you both with getting started in learning new skills
and in helping solve problems you may encounter. The KNC is on the 2nd
floor of Hatcher Graduate Library, in the glassed-in area across from
the computer terminals. Consultants are available on a walk-in basis:
no appointment is necessary.
- ITD: The University of Michigan Information Technology Division consultants
can help you with computer questions. Here
is a list of ITD sites staffed with consultants. ITD consultants
also offer assistance by phone and email. Call (734) 764-HELP or email
online.consulting@umich.edu
- The Sweetland Writing Center
now offers multi-literacy consulting. The staff is trained in using
Dreamweaver, FTP, and Photoshop, and in helping students think through
how to use the web most effectively as a medium of communication. Students
can make appointments with an ML consultant by calling 764-0429; drop-ins
are accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis.
