Once the text for the index pages was in place, I added HTML tags to create the appearance I wanted and to provide the basic links to the various sections of the tutorial. While I am happy with what I have accomplished, I am disappointed that I have not completed the tutorial. Currently, the text of the tutorial remains in outline form. It took me the summer to develop the outlines and put together the structure of the tutorial, and sadly, I have made little progress since. However, in its present form, the tutorial does accomplish, in part, what I hoped it would.
Students are able to use the tutorial when they are designing their own projects.
It does reconstruct the logic of the design process for them and assist them in identifying the steps necessary to complete the design of their project. It simply presents them in outline form, rather than the more extended narrative discussions I had envisioned. Currently it being used in my undergraduate research design classes and by a few graduate students working on their thesis. I intend to continue working on expanding the outlines into complete narratives and adding additional links, as time allows.
