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

How eClasses Work:Instructors post lectures (text-based, no video or audio), reading selections, and hands-on assignments once a week in the online classroom. Students can discuss the assignments with the instructor and amongst themselves in the classroom area. This format has no set meeting time, which allows students to attend class at a time most convenient to them, yet still provides logically organized communication between class participants. Students can apply for the completion certificate after finishing the class.

    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

  • "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
