[Year 12 IPM] Define "Prototype website"?

[Charmaine Taylor]

Hi Keith,
A prototype is a model with some functional features. It is not intended 
that students design and build a complete website. They should build 
several pages though. For example, it may be that a teacher writes a 
case study for students that requires a website that incorporates 
provision for a forum, wiki, online shopping, etc. These functions can 
take a while to build and are not expected to be built for this SAC. 
However, the index page of the site should include (inactive) hyperlinks 
to the pages containing these functions.  A note (annotation on the page 
or in a separate file) should explain their role and function for the 
case study.
The intention, I believe, is to encourage teachers and students to 
explore recent developments in communication, knowledge sharing, 
information gathering and so on, via the WWW and to encourage discourse 
about these within the class.

Cheers,
Charmaine Taylor
