Requirements
  • Students must have webspace where they can post their assignments. You need to avoid webspaces that support banner ads or popup adds as this adds code to your pages. If you do not have webspace, try your ISP first as many provide a small amount of space with your monthly fee. If yours does not, there are a number of free services that are available on the net. A good place to look for free webspace is FreeWebSpace.net at http://www.freewebspace.net/ or the Free Site at http://www.thefreesite.com
  • If you prefer a paid webhosting service we recommend the following providers:

Rating

  • "I loved this class! A great class for moving beyond using a WYSIWYG editing tool, and the pace is designed for the non-traditional student--which is most appreciated!" - Beckie Palmer

  • "Enjoyed taking this course. The instructor, Frani and assistant, Quail were most helpful. I will definitely be trying additional courses." - Elizabeth Wilson

  • "This was my first class with IWA. It was well organized into manageable learning steps that worked beautifully for an Intro HTML class. The instructors were wonderful. I am very pleased and would highly recommend this class." - Maria Hill

  • "Great intro course in html. Make sure you have time to do it justice and be prepared to learn." - Tae Moon

  • "I like how this course is set up.
    Reading part is easy to understand (especially book "Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML" is great for beginning like me).
    Each assignment is challenge enough without feeling overwhelm.
    And final project keep integrating all the lessons.I really understood what I was doing, and was happy to see personal achievement. Thanks to Frani!!! She is highly knowledgeable
    Instructor. I would recommend her course to anyone who is beginning to HTML." - Alexandra Nguyen

  • "This is a good class for beginning html. I learned a great deal. However, I felt like I was totally on my own and didn't feel that if I had a question it would be answered in a timely matter. I didn't like how a lot of the time if I posted my assigment Monday it wasn't graded until Saturday. Then it left me dealing with two weeks assignments at the same time. Overall I was happy with the class material, and I will be taking more." - Nicole Kutyba

  • "I felt like I learned a lot from this course. The book was very useful and easy to read, I felt it was a good choice for this course. Once recommendation I would make is that I would have liked to see a bit more in-depth lectures. They were often less than a page and not always comprehensive." - Matthew Smith-Gonzalez

  • "Excellent course, well taught, Correction remarks always constructive, Very well done. My best to Frani and Quail. " - Peter Brown

  • "Frani and Quail were sucinct but very helpful. Managing questions and assignments from so many students was handled well and we learned a lot! Thanks to both again for a GREAT first class experience!!" - Edith Sharron Blood

  • "I had thought that this course would be very easy, but it wasn't. I appreciate the good quality of this course very much.
    It gave me a lot of information that I would not be able to obtain otherwise. The instructor (Frani) was very good, but also very friendly and patient.

    Thanks a lot.
    " - Tatiana Sidorova

  • "Frani was very helpful. Assignments which followed the book more closely (or a book that follow the assigments more closely) might have helped reinforce the learning process and provided a more solid theoretical foundation. All in all, more than worth the investment of time and money." - Jeff Archie

  • "I have discussed the classes that I have taken through eClasses with a manager at work. He recently offered me a promotion into Development." - Nichole Browning

  • "The instructor was very helpful and her lectures were very appropriate with lots of tips and extras. " - Mitchell Hertzler

  • "The class was very good, the book very helpful and both instructors -- Frani and Quail -- were great teachers who were very clear in articulating their instructions and what was expected of us in this class. Both were also very patient, understanding and reasonable. The only suggestion I would make to improve the course would be to ease up a bit on the assignment load during the week of a holiday, such as Thanksgiving, and maybe made the assignment more difficult during another week to make up for it. Thank you." - joseph young

  • "I have enjoyed this class tremendouly. I have worked hard on the assignments and have gained a lot of skill and knowledge. I want to thank the instructors for their help and their guidance. Thank you." - Annette Turgeon

It is an introduction, and I realize there is a lot more for me to learn, but I feel that I am off to a great start and have a solid foundation for future learning with this course under my belt. Frani and Quail were both great, and I have no complaints at all. My sincere thanks go to Frani and to Quail, and to eClasses for making this class available to me." - John Kowalski
