The Central American country of "Schneiderland" is well known for its beautiful beaches and for its extensive rain forest. It is a democratic country that has a long and important history. Schneiderland has excellent surfing and is often host to world surfing championships.

However, they have not had the tourism that Costa Rica or Mexico has. They would like to increase their impact on the internet in order to increase tourism. Their current tourism website is hard to find, not easy to use, and is not written specifically for the American audience.

The leaders of the country (President Schneider and his staff) have approached you as an expert in technology. They have asked you to develop a plan for a website that will increase knowledge of Schneiderland, gather information from potential tourists, and have interesting pages for young and old alike. They especially want to cater to the American tourist. They insist that you provide specific reasons why your plan will attract more people.

This move has gotten extensive media coverage. People are actively seeking information about Schneiderland, but seem to be frustrated with their website.

If you have taken this exam before I will have the opportunity to compare your versions. You are welcome to reuse elements from any project but be sure to include only elements that demonstrate your growth and new learning this semester.

You will create a website (using HTML, Flash, Dreamweaver, whatever....) that solves the following issues:

//A country called "Schneiderland" is looking to increase tourism. They have hired you to create their website.//

They want to include the following in the website: 1. A logo (their symbol is a jaguar). 2. A way to collect information from prospective tourists. 3. An email address for contact (webmasters@isp.com) 4. Clipart or creative commons pictures of the jungle and beach to encourage tourism. 5. A short history of the country. This can be added to "creative writing" style as part of the assignment. 6. A well designed, accessible, and //__highly usable__// website. 7. Include actual links to quality information about the beaches and rain forests of Central America.

__**Extra credit points**__: 1. Create an animation using flash or fireworks and incorporate that in the website. 2. Create a 30 second tourism advertisement film and embed that in the website.

//Save all files, pictures, etc...in your final exam folder in the FINAL EXAM folder in WebSchneider. Name your folder FirstName-LastName-Final//. //This exam must be finished in the time allotted, so plan accordingly based on your abilities. If you finish early, please sit quietly so others can finish in quiet.//
