This asynchronous workshop walks participants through the process of creating and managing their own WordPress website. Participants will learn how to:

• Customize the look and feel of their website
• Add blog posts
• Add new webpages
• Add functionality to their site
• Use basic HTML and CSS

Participants can complete this workshop by accessing the Project Sandbox Moodle course. Once in the course, participants will be directed to watch a video and complete a series of activites within the WordPress platform. After ALL activities have been completed, participants will submit a link to their completed website in the assignment submission area on the Moodle page. Participants who do not complete all of the activites will receive an e-mail detailing the activities they have not completed. Submissions that have all completed elements, will show as being complete on the Student Experience Transcript two to three weeks after being submitted. This delay is in place to allow time for the submission to be adequently reviewed.
