media type="file" key="Website intro.mp3" width="240" height="20" = ** Context ** = Our current website has been created by a company of web designers in India. They created the initial content and they are responsible for maintaining the site. If we would like to update the site by adding new content we need to send it to them and they will add it for us. This is inconvenient and slow. Mr. Edmunds has created an attractive new website for the secondary school which he has been easily able to keep updated with current events.

=** Challenge **= You need to redesign our school website from scratch. It will need to be accessible for students, staff and parents from a variety of cultural backgrounds, so all users should be able to navigate quickly to the information they require. It will also be viewed by prospective parents and the community and therefore it will need to ‘sell’ the school. It will need to include the information usually included in school websites and be able to be kept up to date easily with our current news and events. = = =** Area of Interaction **= Community and Service - we are creating this website for the school to communicate to our extended community and people around the world that would like to find out more about our school.

=** Learner Profile focus **= Our learner profile focus for this unit is ‘Communicator’. Add a sentence below to show how you think you will be a communicator in this unit. media type="custom" key="10925136"

=** Inter-disciplinary Links **= There are no specific inter-disciplinary links in this unit, although we will need to consider the needs of each department when we create our website.
