Group report #15



For this last report of the semester, I thought I'd write about something a little closer to home and still be pertinent to our group's subject. What I am talking about is the University of Hawaii, College of Engineering home page. When I first viewed this page I was in amazement. I like the organization, the style, the pictures, everything. From their home page, I went into their instructions for making a home page. The general instructions for this page talks about how to make a page on their server. Getting the approvals, what guidelines to follow, and things like that. The University of Hawaii, College of Engineering home page also has information on how to make fill-out-forms and interactive maps.

What I thought was really interesting are the instructions on how to make an interactive clickable map. The thing you need to do to make this kind of map is to specify the coordinates for the areas you want clickable. There are three different methods of specifying coordinates: circle, poly, and rect. All of these will allow you to make a clickable map. The College of Engineering is working on a clickable map of the University of Hawaii at Manoa campus map.

I am still learning how to do this and I'm practicing with it, but I think clickable maps are terrific. They make visiting an area so easy and fun.
