Website Design and Development Assignment
For this assignment, you will work with a team to develop a website. Your team will need to conduct
some research to find the information for the topic. The goal is to present the information (website)
in such a way that customers can use your website effectively. In addition, you will submit a brief
individual report about this assignment.
Teams:
You will be expected to choose your own teams for this project. Teams may consist of three or four
students. Your team needs to choose a team name and contact person. Students who are not in a
group must contact the lecturer.
The Website:
Good web design suggests that dividing material into bite-sized pieces relating to a portion of the
overall topic.
Good practice of web design is expected – e.g. appropriate navigation, a good writing style for the
web, well-thought out design to make material easily read on screen, and appropriate fonts and
colors. The home page should be index.html.
One of the pages (references.html) should contain accurate and detailed information about the
sources of information (contents and images) used in the web pages. It is expected that the
references be accurate and complete and follow an appropriate format.
Your website project must follow the hierarchical structure and file naming conventions given below.
Your marks will be deducted if you don’t follow this structure in your project.

The Group Report:
Write a three page paper describing the process of creating your website, working with your client
and learning the technical skills necessary to do so. Discuss the things that went well on the site, the
things that you found difficult, things you would change if you could do it again and what your group
did on the project and how each of the group member personally contributed to the project.
Remember, unlike some of the other papers we have done in class, this is an actual essay, not a
rough designs or notes. Pay attention to grammar and spelling.
Make sure the name of your group and a listing of the members of your group are clearly identified
on the first page of this document.
Word limit: equivalent to 1200 words
Plagiarism and Collusion of Material:
One of the most common reasons for programming plagiarism is leaving work until the last minute.
Avoid this by making sure that you know what you have to do (not necessarily how to do it) as soon
as an assessment is set. Then decide what you will need to do in order to complete the assignment.
Since the web pages are submitted as a group, ensure that all members of your group follow strict
guidelines to avoid plagiarism.

GENERAL NOTES FOR ASSESSMENT TASKS
Content for Assessment Task papers should incorporate a formal introduction, main points and
conclusion.
Appropriate academic writing and referencing are inevitable academic skills that you must develop
and demonstrate in work being presented for assessment. The content of high quality work presented
by a student must be fully referenced within-text citations and a Reference List at the end. Kent
strongly recommends you refer to the Academic Learning Support Workshop materials available on
the Kent Learning Management System (Moodle). For details please click the link
http://moodle.kent.edu.au/kentmoodle/mod/folder/view.php?id=3606 and download the file titled
“Harvard Referencing Workbook”. This Moodle Site is the location for Workbooks and information
that are presented to Kent Students in the ALS Workshops conducted at the beginning of each
Trimester.
Kent recommends a minimum of FIVE (5) references in work being presented for assessment. Unless
otherwise specifically instructed by your Lecturer or as detailed in the Unit Outline for the specific
Assessment Task, any paper with less than five (5) references may be deemed not meeting a
satisfactory standard and possibly be failed.
Content in Assessment tasks that includes sources that are not properly referenced according to the
“Harvard Referencing Workbook” will be penalised.
Marks will be deducted for failure to adhere to the word count if this is specifically stated for the
Assessment Task in the Unit Outline. As a general rule there is an allowable discretionary variance to
the word count in that it is generally accepted that a student may go over or under by 10% than the
stated length.
GENERAL NOTES FOR REFERENCING
References are assessed for their quality. Students should draw on quality academic sources, such as
books, chapters from edited books, journals etc. The textbook for the Unit of study can be used as a
reference, but not the Lecturer Notes. The Assessor will want to see evidence that a student is
capable of conducting their own research. Also, in order to help Assessors determine a student’s
understanding of the work they cite, all in-text references (not just direct quotes) must include the
specific page number(s) if shown in the original. Before preparing your Assessment Task or own
contribution, please review this ‘YouTube’ video (Avoiding Plagiarism through Referencing) by
clicking on the following link: link:
http://moodle.kent.edu.au/kentmoodle/mod/folder/view.php?id=3606
A search for peer-reviewed journal articles may also assist students. These type of journal articles can
be located in the online journal databases and can be accessed from the Kent Library homepage.
Wikipedia, online dictionaries and online encyclopaedias are acceptable as a starting point to gain
knowledge about a topic, but should not be over-used – these should constitute no more than 10% of
your total list of references/sources. Additional information and literature can be used where these
are produced by legitimate sources, such as government departments, research institutes such as the
National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), or international organisations such as the
World Health Organisation (WHO). Legitimate organisations and government departments produce
peer reviewed reports and articles and are therefore very useful and mostly very current. The content
of the following link explains why it is not acceptable to use non-peer reviewed websites (Why can’t I
just Google?): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N39mnu1Pkgw
