Teacher-Scholar 
Summer Conference 98
California State University, 
Long Beach
New Media Center
July 6-7, 1998

 
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.
