Thanks for many of you shared your web publishing experiences with me!   Here are the notes to share with you to help you to improve your Assignment 3.   Q: Do we need to produce any web page for Assignment 3? A: No. All you need to do is go through different tutorials and answer the four questions.   You do not need to submit any web page you create, either, even you did create some.   Q: I am having difficult time with FTP. Is it acceptable if I couldn't finish FTP? A: Yes, it is perfectly acceptable.   FTP and HTML editor are fairly challenging to understand; however, it is the most common way to create and to publish more advanced web pages.   Q: I like really wiki.   Can I focus more on evaluating wiki tools since I plan to use wiki for my final unit? A: Yes.   In the past, almost all students integrate wiki to deliver their final online unit since it is much easier to understand, to design, and to develop unless you are verycomfortable with FTP and HTML editor and

A: No.  We do not need create any web pages at this point.  All we need to do is to select the tutorials & go thought the tutorials  & share our tutorial experiences.  You may or may not have any problems while going through the tutorials.  FTP generally is the most challenging one.  It may not work for you if you are not familiar with it.  Don’t worry that it doesn’t work.  All we need to do is to share our tutorial experiences.  If some work, we report them in our assignment.  Some may not work and share your experience as well.  One student indicate that “Pine” web server works better than “dana” server.  You can find NAU’s Pine web server at: http://pine.ucc.nau.edu/homepage/
