Course Overview
This course focuses on using the Internet and World Wide
Web as a tool for displaying student work and assisting in student
employment. Participants will create an electronic portfolio which
displays their work, and their resume. They will view work-related
web sites and become familiar with how to register their portfolio
with on-line career databases. Students will be required to produce
an integrated 5-7 page portfolio web site - no instruction in web
page creation will be provided so students will need to be proficient
in HTML or a web authoring program such as DreamWeaver, GoLive, Front
Page, etc.
Student portfolio websites must be stored in SRJC Student
accounts (student.santarosa.edu -- see
details at cis web site for more info).
Textbook
There is no required textbook. Before spending any money on books,
take a look at the class material, and links to online resources,
to see what is available online. Then, if you still want a book, scan
through several to see which, if any, will meet your needs. The books
listed below are several years old now, and there may be others, published
more recently, that might be better. Browse Amazon, Barnes and Noble,
etc for topics you are interested in. Resumes in Cyberspace
