While this is not the first time that Martin Rawlinson has run the Creative Web Design course, it is the first time that the course has been accredited by Cardiff Learn at Cardiff University's Centre for Lifelong Learning.  The course is run in partnership with Ffotogallery at Chapter Arts Centre in Market Road, Canton, Cardiff.

The Creative Web Design course is divided into three modules and the successful completion of each module gives the student 20 Cardiff University credits.  Once the student has gained 60 credits, the student is awarded a Cardiff University Foundation Certificate in Creative Web Design.  Martin briefly describes each of the course modules as follows:

Module Three

Macromedia Flash - 29 April to 22 July 2003.  This final module introduces you to Macromedia Flash 5, the industry standard for creating high impact web sites.  You will learn how to create vector graphics and animations, incorporate buttons and interactive elements and add movies and sound to your site.   You will use these skills to create a complete interactive Flash web interface.

Only ten students are admitted to each module as the practical nature of web design makes teaching a larger group impractical.  The Creative Web Design course has been so popular and oversubscribed that an extra course has been set up and is run by Tim Long in parallel with Martin's original course.
