We've talked about various entry points for students, and our problem is that one size does not fit all. Some students already know more than we do about building and posting websites, and some don't even know about the webspace that LSU provides to everyone for free.
So, when we conduct workshops, we face a range of audiences, whether we're speaking to students or to faculty. What this means to me is that we need multiple introductions, e.g., "how to experiment with your first website on your own computer," "recommended web development tools for various purposes," "uploading your website to PAWS," "build locally, upload infrequently," "options for web servers beyond LSU," "Now that you are ready for Flash and Java..." We also need to advertise our workshops carefully. Finally, workshops may not be the answer. We may need multiple media. We might decide that our major function is to post information for a range of audiences on our website or on a a wiki or a blog or an LSU "Grok"-like approach. Collective wisdom? --L
