Why do I ask this of you as you go about developing a web site? Because developing a web site is only a part of the learning goals for this course. Writing web sites, especially writing interactive web applications, is an inherently heuristic activity. I don't believe anybody can be engaged in writing interactivity without having to rethink what such interactivity is in a digital society, and especially how that interactivity affects learning in a society in which all knowledge will be available to anyone who can effectively appropriate it. Your accumulating understanding, shared with and growing out of the accumulating understanding of your classmates, is as valuable a part of this course as your growing ability to construct data-driven web pages.
