What is AUX-04?
AUX-04 is an U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary C-School
intended to provide introduction in the use of current media systems in
electronic presentation and web site design.
The classroom based training involves the use of
computers and the development of two projects; one being a multimedia
presentation and the other building the basic structure of a unit
website. These skills will be utilized when the student returns to
their local unit.
Members attending AUX-04 classes will learn to standup a local unit,
flotilla/division, web site. While there are few prerequisites, students
should be current or prospective CS officers at any level. It is
required that student bring a laptop computer to class. The course is not
designed or appropriate for advanced or professional web developers.
WOW - The "Pushbutton" Website Platrform
The Aux04 class teaches students how to easily and
quickly build unit web sites using the
WOW site development system. This menu driven and WYSIWYG editor
based system allows novice CS officers to build unit web sites in a
fraction of the time that used to be required. Knowledge of HTML
programming is not necessary to build a WOW site, but more
experienced programmers can enhance their WOW sites by editing or
incorporating their own HTML code.
By the completion of the course, the
successful AUX-04 student will...
- Learn how to use WOW, and then build an
Auxiliary WOW website.
- Build and modify Microsoft PowerPoint
presentations.
