site and the class will correspond via e-mail.  There is a minimum 15 hour
time commitment to complete this course.

This online course will cover the basics of Web page creation and design in a
museum context. This includes HTML (HyperText Markup Language), design ideas,
sales and marketing strategies, domain name registration and costs. You will
finish this course with a web site in hand critiqued by the
instructors and fellow participants.

This course is taught by a professional instructor. Members of the OMA
Computer Advisory Committee will provide feedback and museum content to the
discussions. The expertise of this group includes WWW page design at both
large and small institutions, project management and communications in
the museum field.
