Tips on Creating and Maintaining an Educational World Wide Web Site

Scott Plous

Open publisher page 23 citations

Abstract

In this article, I describe several benefits of using the World Wide Web (Web) for instructional purposes, and I offer 8 general tips on how to create and maintain an educational Web site. Most of these tips are easy to implement if readers have a basic grasp of hypertext markup language (HTML, the language most Web pages are written in). For readers who do not yet have experience with HTML, I provide references for tutorials that cover the essentials in 1 to 3 days. Throughout the article, I discuss examples from my experience with Social Psychology Network, an educational Web site I created in 1996.
