  • a (very) brief history of the web
  • the web as an evolving communication tool (e.g., the way back machine, blogging, social networking, grape radio and more)
  • web teams (what roles are necessary for an effective web team?)
  • the core process for creating effective communications (the 4 Ds
  • and what we know about how humans use the web (IA, Usability, Poynter Institute research, Krug, usability and interface design concepts).

It’s a lot of material and the pace will be fast and furious, but we can handle it, right?

And we’ll complete the day with a photoshop tutorial as we begin our first assignment.
