The majority of the students in my class were co-op students with some industrial experiences. In order to know our students better, the School of Engineering and Technology started to collect resumes from students. Naturally, the first homework assign ment was to ask the students to create a home page with their resume. Later on, as we learned more, I asked students to present a version of resume using table and a version of resume using frames. Once they learned how frames work, they can present whatever they like as long as they used frames.
Some students are very c reative.
One student likes cars and he designed the left panel of the frame as index and right frame to show a picture of the car being chosen. HTML is nothing but a collection of tags that a browser can follow to render special effects on your screen. As long as students are motivated, they can explore more by themselves. Ano ther application of this technique is the redirection of Web page addresses without modifying the server's configuration file. Apparently we cannot cover everything about CGI, Perl, Java, Javascript, etc in one term.
