Students will be able to publish their web page or pages on a free server in order to demonstrate their knowledge of the Web publishing process. The World Wide Web has become an important means of publishing information. Recent years have seen tremendous growth in electronic publishing. Web publishing has many advantages over traditional forms of publishing. Traditional publishing in print can require several months from the time an article is submitted to the time it appears in a print journal.
Web publishing can speed the process and even allow authors to publish their research themselves.
Print publications are limited to text and images, whereas Web publishing allows many different media formats, including sound and video. Finding information in a print publication is limited to the table of contents or index, while Web publishing allows you to search through entire documents for specific words or phrases. For futher information, traditional publications provided footnotes, bibliographies or reference lists, while the Web can offer you hyperlinks to related documents and information. Many institutions are using the Web to provide access to fragile or valuable collections that were previously unavailable to the public. These might include historical documents or photographs.
