Course Elements:
On-Line Reading
If you put a public domain text on-line,
you can take advantage of the resources of the Web by adding hyperlinks
to additional information about issues in the reading. (For
print, copyrighted materials that you cannot put on-line, consider a page
of on-line resources students use to supplement the print reading assignment.)
Advantages:
-
Create interest in the reading by including visual
and audio illustrations of the text
-
Add study questions, some with on-line links, to
improve self-study
-
Add bibliographic material to demonstrate availability
of other materials on-line and encourage further learning
Disadvantages:
-
This can only be done with public domain
materials
-
This type of resource is very labor-intensive
for the faculty member to setting up.
-
The hyperlinks you set up within the text
have a nasty habit of disappearing, so you need to regularly check for
'broken links"
