Short exercise on building a Web page using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
This book is designed to be used as a class text but should be easily accessible to programmers interested in Web Programming. It should even be accessible to an advanced hobbyist.
The original goal behind this text was to help students doing research with me in Web based mapping applications, generally using Open Layers. The idea was to provide persistent storage using REST and simple http request from JavaScript to store the data on a server.
By sharing this editor, our objective is to provide teachers with a way to easily convert a slideshow into an online course, so that they can experiment with hybrid pedagogies of the blended learning course type.
The solution proposed here is the adaptation to HTML 5 of a development carried out under Flash in 2006 and which proved very effective. In a few weeks, around sixty online course sessions had been created.
Its great advantage is that it can be implemented very easily by a teacher, without requiring the support of specialists in educational digital technologies.
More sophisticated solutions can be made, but this one has all the essential features.
The screens are available in both English and French, and it's very easy to add more translations if you want.
