All courses have been scheduled for facilities that include computer labs,

these new Internet skills. All courses run from 9:00 to 4:00 and cost $200

HOME ON THE WEB: BUILDING AND MANAGING A WEB SITE

This two-day seminar is designed for persons and groups thinking about
putting themselves on the World Wide Web. In the first day, Web authorities
Richard Wiggins of Michigan State University and Susan Davidsen of the
University of Michigan answer the most important questions for any
organization considering starting up a presence on the Internet.  Included
are the central issues in building and managing a Web site: planning
staffing, budgeting, and maintenance; owning your own technology versus
renting space with an access provider; content and design issues; and site
promotion. The second day of the seminar, led by Merit trainers, is a
hands-on workshop on Web site creation, including the basics of HTML,
dynamic linking, creating tables, and creating and manipulating graphics.
The first day of this course may be selected by itself, for $100.
