You are not expected to produce a whole site in Joomla, but aspects of one. The
range of functionalities you can choose from are listed below.
Follow these steps:
It is your decision which aspects of the system you will design, develop and
implement. For example, you could implement the ability for a user to browse,
search, tag, upload and comment online about their experiences of a particular
concept (e-science, tourism, COP etc)
.
Whatever your decision, the final system must demonstrate at least FOUR of the following functions:
• Create a front-end interface of your choice, which includes a list of non-dynamic browsable options [up to 10 marks].
• Create a front-end interface which includes a dynamic list of browsable options [up to 10 marks]
