The class is run within the structure of a Web development business, with a staff supervisor, two student managers, and student team leaders. Different teams in the class specialize in developing and publishing different areas of the sites, including an architecture and graphics team. The SRHS Web Development Team planned, designed, and developed three sites for the use of our faculty, staff, administration, parents, students, and community. Students work through the entire process of Web development from a business approach. We stress the importance of good client communication to meet the needs of all of our stakeholders.
Team leaders work with their members to analyze and break down the tasks and assign deadlines.
All members of the team follow specific protocols, which they developed to maintain a smooth development and publication process, and write to ISO standards. The team also works toward continuous improvement of the different processes and workings within the class structure. The SRHS Web Development Team has also recently implemented NetObjects TeamFusion, an HTML editor and file manager to increase staff development of Web sites. Students learned and administer TeamFusion and have designed and lead a training course for SRHS faculty. Those students who have training and experience on these platforms also administer them under staff supervision.
