Description

The Internet has proved to be a vital tool for communicating in the Information Age. Our primary question is: How can we better develop our existing web site, an electronic newsletter for technical communicators, which we began developing in the fall of 2001? We intend to do usability testing on our current site, and with that information, research the different qualities and capabilities of two new visual html editor programs. The two programs are Dreamweaver (version 3.0), and Coffee Cup (version 8.7). This project is currently in progress. We anticipate finding an optimal visual html editor that can be used to publish the electronic newsletter. Techniques. Overall, the best-case scenario would be finding a program to assist us in smoothly updating our newsletter web pages. It is equally important to find a program that allows future students to keep up with technology trends.
