Wired Digital Competency Exam

HOW DO I TEST OUT OF WIRED?

Email the Wired Coordinator, Tiffany Holmes at tholme (at) saic (dot) edu to set up an appointment to test out well before add/drop ends.

Testing out of SAIC WIRED, a required SAIC course for incoming freshmen, is accomplished by taking a three part examination using the Macintosh laptop. The three components of the test are:

(1) Basic digital compositing assignment. Please use the Cezanne sketch as a template. Cut out the bowl of apples, the mug and the lemon and create a new background for the “altered” still life. – Download materials

(2) Simple HTML page construction (tags only, below is the image you will need). Write “HELLO WORLD” five times on a page with this image of the bus below. Each “HELLO WORLD” needs to be a different size, use the various heading tags to accomplish this. Make the CTA bus image a link to saic.edu. – Click URL to preview

(3) Basic web site construction with table usage (Dreamweaver or Fireworks OK to use). Make an index page that is a table of the wildflowers; order does not particularly matter but you can copy what the preview shows. Then each time the user clicks on a flower, have the user go to a page in a slideshow that takes you through the larger pics in a linear fashion. – Click URL to preview - Download individual IMAGE FILES FOR USE.
