Abstract

This article introduces a categorisation of a skills and knowledge base hierarchy for participants in the Web environment. This classification includes Web browsing, Web publishing, Web site maintenance, site development and site administration. The hierarchy and classification is of assistance in planning educational curriculum for Web courses, as an instrument in setting requirements for Web site development and identifying the necessary skills base of the participants. Also, this analysis can be used to determine appropriate management strategies in the administration of the Web environment in an enterprise. The material for this article has evolved from a series of programs in Web environment education and site development conducted at the University of Western Sydney Macarthur.
