Objective: Create a website to express your views on the then very prevalent discussion on global warming versus climate change. Students were to research the topic across geographic boundaries, compare facts and what they found in the media including blogs, newspapers, forums/. discussions, other social avenues for the discussion.
Class: The class was Web Design (undergraduate web design class focused on teaching students how the software works and the correct workflow).
The Website: The class worked as individuals towards personal enlightenment about global warming. One observation I make of a lot of students is that they have a lot of information at hand but less knowledge and hence the hesitance to discuss a subject intelligently. The students researched the subject matter as it appealed to each of them individually. They then thought about who the audience for the their website was and researched sites targeting that audience. It was upto them to decide what the website would do.
