What this module covers

5 steps · Web Development

  1. Step 1. Lesson: HTML Foundations

    Build semantic documents with a correct page shell, headings, paragraphs, links, images, lists, and tables. Learning objectives - Recognize when html foundations is the right tool. - Explain the role of html, body, h1. - Build a small working example before combining it with a larger interface. - Identify one accessibility, maintainability, or error-handling improvement. Read the example, predict what it will do, then complete the small change described in the check question.

    Build semantic documents with a correct page shell, headings, paragraphs, links, images, lists, and tables. In HTML + CSS, make the state/interaction visible in the UI so completion is easy to verify.

    Check yourself: [HTML + CSS] Use the example to demonstrate html foundations.

  2. Step 2. Quiz: HTML Foundations

    Check your understanding of HTML Foundations.

    The body element contains the content rendered in the browser page. In HTML + CSS, make the state/interaction visible in the UI so completion is easy to verify.

    Check yourself: [HTML + CSS] Complete the knowledge check.

  3. Step 3. Exercise: HTML Foundations

    Create a personal introduction page with one heading, two paragraphs, a link, and a short skills list.

    This exercise turns the HTML Foundations lesson into a working code change. In HTML + CSS, make the state/interaction visible in the UI so completion is easy to verify.

    Check yourself: [HTML + CSS] Does the solution use html and body and h1?

  4. Step 4. Review lab: Explain & improve HTML Foundations

    Rebuild the exercise without copying the solution. Then improve it in two ways: make the code easier to understand and add one useful edge case, responsive behavior, accessibility improvement, or error state. Finally, write a short explanation of how html, body, h1 work together.

    Rebuilding from memory and improving an edge case turns recognition into durable skill. In HTML + CSS, make the state/interaction visible in the UI so completion is easy to verify.

    Check yourself: [HTML + CSS] Does the improved version still use html, body, h1 clearly?

  5. Step 5. Mini project: HTML Foundations

    Build a multi-section profile page using semantic headings, navigation links, an image with alt text, a table, and lists.

    The mini project combines the module lesson, quiz, and exercise into one portfolio-ready result. In HTML + CSS, make the state/interaction visible in the UI so completion is easy to verify.

    Check yourself: [HTML + CSS] Does the project apply the module's html foundations skills?
