Web Site Redesign

When a school's student-facing web site is redesigned, the following constraints should be followed by web developers for interoperability with RealEd:

1. The new layout must accommodate the widest RealEd page, typically the My Classes page or the SCORM content page, either by making the master template sufficiently wide or by providing an alternative template for wide pages. The SCORM content page width varies according to the size of the school's course content.
2. Mockups of the following RealEd pages should be supplied by the layout developer:
   • My Classes
   • My Account
   • Shopping Cart
3. The new layout should specify exactly where the following RealEd elements go on every page:
   • The Login link, or the else email/password inputs and the forgot-password/new-student links.
   • The persistent "Welcome, user" message.
   • The My Classes, My Account, Shopping Cart, and Logout links.
   • The Bookstore link, if online bookstore sales are desired.
   • The affiliate logo, if affiliate referral tracking is desired.
4. PHP must be available on the web server with support for outbound SSL connections to port 59822, e.g. fsockopen("ssl://1.2.3.4", 59822). PHP configuration variables display_errors and magic_quotes_gpc must both be set to Off.
5. Secure HTTP (i.e. https:// URLs) must be available on the web server.
6. Navigation elements should not be implemented in Flash.
