Course Elements:
On-Line Projects
In addition to writing assignments,
you might assign projects for individuals or groups which involve research
on the Web and dissemination via their own Web pages.
Advantages:
-
Asking students to create their own Web
page will immerse them in thinking about how to organize and present their
project using this new technology - a skill that will benefit most in their
first jobs and provide priceless experience for job-hunting in a few years.
-
The dissemination to the rest of the class
on the Web will be an effective way to involve all students in learning
about the content of those other projects and actively discussing them
with each other, in-person and on-line.
Disadvantages:
-
If no student workshops are available on
your campus to teach students web-authoring, you will have to do it yourself.
-
Undertaking to train students yourself
on web-authoring would be a daunting task and might engulf you for the
semester.
