iLAB STEPS
Step 1: Get Photos
Back to Top
Find 10 photos.
• The photos can be obtained through http://quest.eb.com.proxy.devry.edu/ or from http://commons.wikimedia.org.
• If you have personal images that you wish to use for the assignment, be sure that you cite them correctly according to APA guidelines.
• All of the images you use should be cited in the sources document that accompanies this assignment.
• IMPORTANT! Make sure that the version of each image you use for the slideshow is less than 500K. Ten images at 500K is 5 MB, and adding the document should total no more than 7 MB.
Step 2: Research Slideshow Code
Back to Top
Do some research on the Web to find code that will let you take your photos and build a slideshow on a page. Try to find code that is CSS based and doesn’t require a lot of JavaScript.
One example is http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2012/04/25/pure-css3-cycling-slideshow/.
Step 3: Build Page and Document Sources
Back to Top
• Create the slideshow according to your selected research, using the images you located in Step 1.
• The slideshow should run automatically and should contain a text-based title for each slide.
• Write a description of the process that the slideshow uses to cycle through the slides, and cite the source of your code.
Step 4: iLab Submission
Back to Top
• Create a folder called CIS363A_YourLastName_W4_Lab.
• Put copies of each required deliverable into the new folder.
• Right-click on the folder and select Send To -> Compressed (zipped) Folder. You can also use other tools to compress the files into a single zip folder (e.g., 7-zip).
