Preparations begin from week one as we plan the basic structure of our webprojects. This is where your background, expertise, inside knowledge and interestswill be of practical use. What kind of identity or presence do you want to create?What part of the web haven't you explored in detail before. Have you avoided

social networks, or is there a theory you want to test out with Twitter?

The assessment will take into account your ability to plan, develop and producecontent for your sites, and you should include links to all the visual, audio and othermedia created during the semester.
