The iThemes Education Program is proud to announce the release of Best Practices in Web Development Instruction, an eBook full of helpful tips and information for educators in web design and development. This collection of “best practices” was gathered through interviews with web development and web design educators at all levels of education, including our own instructors at WebDesign.com. Use these helpful tips when teaching students about the many aspects of web development or even repurpose them for use in educating clients.

These Best Practices of Web Development Instruction include tips and ideas for:

• Getting started
• Engaging and connecting with students
• Teaching methods and techniques
• Assignments, class projects, and tests
• Pointers for teaching different age groups
• Practical tips to help you day-in, day-out
