The intention is that students are familiar enough with the languages to be able to continue work in advanced courses, as well as pursue employment at an entry level. Administrative Issues in Implementing a Web Development Curriculum Information Technology departments are challenged to keep pace with the rapid evolution in computer technology. The Internet and World Wide Web have created new frontiers in programming and data communications. Futurists predict that applications programming will continue to shift to web-based applications. The Web Development Curriculum is designed to prepare students for a future of programming on the web.
All new programs are dependent on adequate resources to be successful.
These resources include instructional laboratories, software, faculty, and computer networks. After the faculty has determined the appropriate courses for the new curriculum, each of these resources must be assessed. The required hardware and software must be purchased, and faculty must be hired or retrained if the required skill set does not currently reside in the department. Preparing laboratories, faculty, and networks is often time consuming and expense. Once the correct resources are obtained and functioning an assessment and revision process should be implemented to insure the curriculum continues to teach the required skills and courses are in the correct sequence.
