Course Description

Teacher in Charge: T. Chisholm.

In this course you will learn how to design and create webpages which connect to a database.  You will learn about ‘Usability’ (i.e. how to ensure that everything you make is easy to use).  

You can take TCCOM1 (as well as TCDTI1).  Doing so will allow you to earn a total of 25 credits over both courses (this includes two unit standards).

Contributions and Equipment/Stationery

Students need headphones that must be brought to every lesson so that they can access the sound associated with the video tutorials. Our system can accommodate both blue tooth headphones and heaphones that fit into a standard headphone jack.

Pathway

This course leads on to TCDTI2 and DTIUE where students deepen their skills and create more complex outcomes. DTIUE Students can opt to continue their studies at Design school.

Having a background in Design leads to exciting careers. Designers can use their skills in any country in the world without needing to recertify / retrain (as is the case with other professions).
