Web Standards in the IS Curriculum

Web standards The goal of this workshop is to explore how development using Web Standards can be incorporated into the IS/IT curriculum. Attendees will learn about and discuss the importance of developing with Web standards. We will also introduce a set of material developed by educators and Web professionals called WaSP Interact. WaSP InterAct is a living, open curriculum based upon web standards and best practices, designed to teach students the skills of the web professional. The WaSP Interact material is a creation of the Web Standards Project, a founding partner of the Open Web Education Alliance of the W3C. Attendees will have the opportunity to investigate this material and discuss how it might be used to complement their IS/IT curriculum. In addition, we will explore how attendees can contribute to the WaSP.
