CUSTOMISING YOUR WEBCT
MODULE
Basic HTML
Web pages use different programming from
word documents. Most of us initially create our web pages with
an editor eg Composer or Front Page, Dreamweaver or Pagemill.
Editors make it as easy as using Word.
But for altering little things in online
courses, you don't really want to have to download the whole
thing, open in an editor, change, upload etc. You can just open
your file in the html format and type in the changes if you know
the html codes.
Here they are - not all of them, but enough
to allow you to make simple changes.
Note that all HTML instructions need to
sit inside these marks <don't know what they are called
though!>
|

select and type over just as in Word |

<A HREF="http://www.tafe.sa.edu.au/top/esl/">SA

where the SA TAFE becomes the text link. |

default font for example to
the comic
sans font |
