Hi Bryan,

You mention that you’ve seen several online journalism courses that have great supplemental web sites. Do you happen to have a list of those sites? I’d like to view them. And, have you completed your supplemental site? If so, I’d like to view it also.

THanks

Here's a suggestion for a topic to potentially cover: SoundSlides. http://squaredpeg.wordpress.com/2007/10/25/sounds... I see a ton of newspapers using this easy tool for enhancing their site online. I used it a lot for 'reporting' at my last university, as seen in the links on that post.

Thanks for this Bryan. I think you are right not to focus on spending weeks of the course teaching HTML, CSS etc. This is one of the misconceptions about online journalism. Students should be familiar with the technologies that power the web and have some knowledge of HTML. But we should be training them to be multimedia journalists, not coders. Far more important than knowing how to code in Flash is knowing how to use these technologies to tell better stories online.
