French Grammar Manual
by Jane Kaplan

Jane Kaplan, a Professor of French in the Department of Modern Languages & Literature, has published 18th century French literature and is presently finishing the translation of a book written 200 years ago. Three years ago, Jane had an idea to publish an online French grammar manual entirely in HTML. This idea led her to ITS's Technology and Learning Center (TLC) to learn how to write HTML code. Over the years, Jane had amassed a volume of HTML pages allowing her students to access grammatical explanations and exercises over the Internet.

Our solution was to build a user-friendly interface, or "wrapper," around her existing HTML coding. We helped Jane reorganize her website and incorporated a color-coded tab metaphor for each section. With a fresh new look, Jane's "French Grammar Manual" is getting the hits it deserves.
