Creating an Educational Website
You can use any tool or method to create your website. You can use WordPress (such as your current blog or a new instance of WordPress), or any of the other available web design tools. Be sure to explore the design of your website including the theme and menus. Another alternative is to explore course authoring software – these are often more like an electronic textbook (you can think of it as a more structured website).
Web Platforms:
- WordPress with OpenETC
- Google Sites
- Wix
- Weebly
- Claude (yes, you can vibe code it)
Course authoring:
- H5P Interactive Book (if you use H5P, make sure it’s .org NOT .com)
- Pressbooks
- Articulate Rise
- Adobe Captivate
Support & Learning
There are countless “how-to” videos and tutorials online for virtually every tool. If you find yourself stuck on a technical hurdle, a quick search for your specific tool will likely yield a step-by-step guide. You are also encouraged to reach out to peers and/or contact me for support.
