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 - Websites withOut
Webmasters
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.
