This is a link to a previously constructed CQUni assignment.
I have used Wix and Weebly which are both WYSIWYG website builders and both of them have plus and minus points.
With this particular assignment myself and the class mate I was working with wanted to design the website with a student area and a separate teacher area that wasn't obvious to the students. We didn't want students being distracted by other text and information only relevant to the teacher. Having considered the features of Wix, I was able to create our main homepage with 4 activities. For each of the 4 activities we wanted a teacher area. On each of those pages we made a teacher link and we had created completely separate webpages to which the user was taken when they clicked them, meaning that they went totally away from the main student activity website. The teacher area didn't need to be locked down so this wasn't a concern when considering the design concept.
Wix Plus: straight forward, not html coding, free, visual, provides variations for design and layouts, good templates, multiple pages within one account
Wix Minus: certain extra features and special add on gadgets are difficult to embed, personally not as aesthetically appealing to use
Wix Interesting: templates and layouts already had gifs and movement built into them.
As a learning manager using this assessing tool would help students to examine the program and over time with comparisons made against similar products, they could discern which program/s would be best suited to particular contexts and situations. Also, when making recommendations, students need to be able to communicate issues or limitations to a peer or cohort.
