Please note that I will be giving two half day courses on the World
Wide Web as part of the EVA'97 summer school on Tuesday 24 June 1997,
University College London, UK.  These will be especially oriented
towards those working in museums and the heritage sector:


S10: Principles of the Internet & WWW

The WWW global hypermedia system has been called the killer application
of the Internet network of networks because it provides a simple point
and click graphical interface to the extensive resources available
on-line, usable by the expert and novice alike. As a specific example,
the Virtual Library museum pages (Vlmp), providing an interactive
directory of on-line museums will be presented in some detail. virtual
visitor statistics and possible future directions will be addressed.

S11: Building your own WWW System

The workshop will provide details of how to write World Wide Web pages,
particularly in a museum context. A basic session on HTML (HyperText
Markup Language) will be given, together with hints on structuring and
linking Web pages to aid navigation, tips on Web page design to improve
appearance and speed up loading over the network, introductory
information on multimedia formats and manipulation for inclusion in Web
pages, and how to publicise your site on the Internet. NB this session
is suitable for those wishing to produce Web page(s) . Attendance at
the previous session together with a basic computer work processing
skills would be useful.
