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 and Phsyiology I and Class Notes for English Composition I Internet).

• Provide online quizzes (example: Quizzes for Human Anatomy and Physiology II).

• Offer students valuable and relevant information through links on your pages (example: Literature and Writing Links).

• 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, Yahoo Pager, AOL Instant Messenger, and other communication tools.

• Post student grades to the Internet with ThinkWave gradebook software.

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