Activity 2:  Create multimedia webpages 

Assessment Objective 2 

Using the designs and components that you have collected and stored, you should now create the  multimedia webpages using appropriate web-authoring software. 

Use the activities below to produce evidence for your assignment. 

A  Create a suitable directory/folder structure for the website: 

• sub-directories/folders 

• suitable filenames 

•  files saved in appropriate location. 

To achieve the higher grades, a suitable directory/folder structure must be shown with  appropriate directory/folder and filenames.     (This must be done using screenshots) 

B          Produce the pages you have designed using your housestyle.  You must: 

•  create your template and/or a cascading style sheet 

•  create your navigation system 

•  insert/import and align text 

•  format text and colour 

•  set text attributes 

•  use a range of different components that you have collected 

•  use tables (if appropriate). 

At Pass level, a simple template should be used.  A minimum of five different images must  be included.  To achieve the higher grades, appropriate styles will need to be used.  Errors  will be minimal and tables will be used.    At Merit level, a template and/or cascading style  sheet(s) can be used and some use must be made of tables.  At Distinction level   cascading style sheets must be used, along with the use of tables throughout.  All images  must be suitable and a method of navigation must be present.     (Evidence for Part B of this Activity will be produced later, when Assessment Objectives 3, 4  and 5 have been addressed in Activity 6) 

C          Show that you have optimised components for use on the internet: 

• file size 

• download times. 

At Pass level, there is no requirement to complete Part C.  To achieve the higher grades,  images will be optimised and will be of good quality and scaled in proportion.     (This must be evidenced through the use of screenshots) 

D          Show that you have kept backups of the entire website on a suitable backup device. 

At Pass level, evidence of backups is not required.  To achieve the higher grades, backup  procedures must be evidenced.     

 (This must be evidenced through the use of screenshots)
