Unit 9: Publishing on the web

QCA
About this unit

In this unit pupils learn how to design and build an interactive web page, on a subject of their choice, that can be published on the worldwide web or school intranet. They learn how to control on-screen events and the flow of information accessed through a web page. They learn that web pages are made up of objects, and that these objects can be programmed to carry out actions, eg a hyperlink can automatically connect a user to a different website, or an area of the screen can be programmed to change when a mouse pointer is passed over it.

They consider a range of audiences, and how one site can serve a range of needs, eg a site dedicated to a historic town may contain a list of places of interest for the casual tourist, while also offering detailed primary source material for the more serious historian.

This unit is expected to take approximately 7 hours.
