Feel comfortable downloading and using software to create a website. 2. Understand industry standards and best practices for effective and accessible web design.  3. Discover that everyone, including beginners, already possess the capability of creating and maintaining a professional website.   How it works:   This is a four week, self paced online course. Once enrolled, students will receive a login for the SCLS eCourse site where they can elect to ¨Create a Website in a Day.¨  The coursework will include tasks and videos walking students through the process of creating a basic website. Expect to devote 2.5 hours per week. Upon completion, 10  hours of professional development will be awarded.  Instructor: Lauren Nichols   Week 2
