Developing Curricula for the Web
"It's All in the Design: Making it Work, Piece By Piece." from
the American Memory Project, Library of Congress.
http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/ndlpedu/educators/workshop/design01/

This excellent site is designed to guide K-12 teachers through the process of developing and delivering curricula via the Web using primary source materials. The advice and tools can easily translate to any Web curriculum development effort. An added bonus will be to help archivists help teachers use their own repository's collections more effectively. Other recommended educational resources available on the Web are accessible from http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/ndlpedu/educators/workshop/design01/olinks.html

Software for Web site development

Macromedia's Dreamweaver is becoming a favorite of Web site developers in general. The latest version accommodates the free Coursebuilder add-on package specifically designed to ease the development of Web-based training sites. A demonstration version is available at http://www.macromedia.com

Another software package to look at is the Hot Potatoes suite. It allows you to create interactive multiple-choice, short -answer, jumbled-sentence, crossword, matching/ordering, and gap-fill exercises for the Web. http://web.uvic.ca/hrd/halfbaked/
