UTTC’s CDT group has released a new Course Content Template that is available for download and free use now!
Why use this template when building your course content? Well, there are a few reasons that set this template apart from other templates or WYSIWYG page-builder options.
- It’s web-standards based and an ACCESSIBLE solution.
- You only need to EDIT ONE FILE, and you can do it in Dreamweaver’s Design View if you like.
- The Template includes a DYNAMIC NAVIGATION bar that is generated on-the-fly; you won’t need to worry about keeping track of which page links to what or edit any JavaScript whatsoever.
- If you want to, you can customize the look and feel, and IT’S EASY to do.
- You (and faculty and students) can PRINT THE WHOLE MODULE AT ONCE.
- It’s open-source, a.k.a. FREE!

Is there a place where we can see a list of all course dev templates created by you guys? I know Ross had created several a few years ago, but I cannot find the url where he kept those.

Katrina,
The JavaScript template that Ross created is also on Source Forge; the blog post is at http://coursedev.wordpress.com/2008/06/13/first-release/.
We haven’t released his Flash template because we haven;t been able to make it accessible to screen readers–and we’re committed to only releasing and using compliant software.
