The Home Room
When you log in, the Home Room is the first page you'll see. All of the Workshop's material is available from this starting point.
As each week begins, hyperlinks appear giving you access to the new material for that Lesson.
No links are ever removed, so you'll always be able to go back and refer to an earlier Chapter.
A Chapter Page
A typical chapter page has a list of links on the left side showing the content within that page. You'll also have access to previous Chapters in the "Chapter Links" section on the right side of the page.
Your Work Space
After you've completed your lab work for a chapter, you'll upload your web pages (files) to your Work Space for Your Friendly Web Design Instructor (me) to review. Folders are designated to store your files (images and style sheets), plus there is a folder for a project of your choosing.
Here one file, index.html, has been uploaded for me to review. My review is sent to you by email within 48 hours after you've uploaded it to your Work Space.
Videos
Videos like these are used as supplemental material for Joy Of Code: Introduction To XHTML And CSS. All you need is the Flash plugin but you still have to bring your own popcorn!!
