How Can I Use the Internet?

• Provide students with online versions of your course outlines (examples: Course outlines for Human Body Structure and Function and Major English Writers II)

• Keep students informed about assignments (examples: Seminar Questions for Human Anatomy and Physiology I and Reading Assignments for Major English Writers II)

• Distribute handouts to students (example: Writing Assignments for Major English Writers II)

• Provide access to class notes (examples: Lecture Outlines for Human Anatomy.

• Offer students valuable and relevant information through links on your pages (example: Online Research Resources for English Composition I)

• Post announcements or updates to students (example: update for Human Body Structure and Function)

• Provide online student guides (example: Using Norton Connect.Net)

• Utilize web pages that publishers produce to accompany their textbooks (examples: Prentice-Hall's Literature and the Writing Process and McGraw-Hill's Hole's Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology)

• Utilize online resources produced by other instructors (links from Using the Internet for Instruction)

• Support lectures with web pages that remain accessible long after class (this page is one example!)

• Increase opportunities for interaction with WebBoard.

• Post student grades to the Internet with ThinkWave gradebook software (You can enter Thinkwave as the fictional student Richie Cunningham by entering Richie's login name: rambo/9hwq4 and password: 0tekp)

• Strengthen community awareness by your web presence (example: Online Resources for Young Writers and their Teachers)

• Contribute your own educational resources to World Wide Web (example: Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado")

• Put an entire course online (examples: Alice Steljes' ACT 1020: Managerial Accounting and ACT 1010: Financial Accounting, Randy Rambo's ENG 1001: English Composition I and ENG 1002: English Composition II)
