Workshops

Kent State University offers various workshops for graduate credit through a number of university departments. A maximum of four workshop hours count toward the degree. Before enrolling for a workshop, students must submit a Workshop Request Form to ensure the workshop will count toward the IAKM degree. Decisions regarding workshop and course content overlap are at the discretion of the Program Director and Dean. Completing a workshop may prevent a student from enrolling for a course with similar content in the future.

Registration
Web For Students, accessed through FLASHline is the place to register for classes and workshops. The College of Continuing Studies states that students may register for workshops up until two weeks before the workshop is offered. However, registration may be possible closer to the workshop date on a space-available basis.

Separating Content and Presentation: Designing Web Sites with XHTML and CSS

This workshop approaches web site design from an emerging direction that is centered on the use of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) as the basis for formatting web-based documents. This method relies on a complete separation of content and presentation. By doing so, it is possible to create web sites that are easily compliant with federal regulations regarding accessibility (Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act), and with validation according to strict XHTML guidelines specified by W3C. NOTE: This workshop is made up of course content that overlaps with IAKM 60112 – Advanced Information Architecture.
