The achievement of the today's workshop is to complete profile web site. Before working to make profile web site, the instructor, Yasuko, gave some samples and demonstration. After the demonstration, teachers worked to make their own profile web and then they evaluate each other as to understand the good design for Web.

One of learner made use of Logo of UNRWA, therefore we have learnt about copyright also. Sometimes, people use the logo and pictures from internet without any permission. It will be big problem because of copy right. We confirmed not to use the official logo such as UNRWA and the pictures from internet etc.

Most of teachers made colorful website. However the web should be made considering the audience. The learners have learnt how to use color. To use color for web, there are logical theory from the perspective of philosophy. The instructor will introduce the suitable combination of the color.

In the workshop, it is not only the practice, but the learner discussed many things. For example, what is the good design, what is the better combination of color, what is the image of the web, what is the flow to make web and so on. It is not enough time to learn Web producing for only 4 days, but the instructor hoped that the learner learn the basic of web design.

Note; One of the teacher, named Mohamad, said that the mutual evaluation was very useful to understand what is the good design for Web. After making the profile web, each teacher looked at other's teachers Web and discussed what is good and what the things to be improve are. Though this kind of discussion, teachers understood more about the design and color to produce the Web.
