July 6-7, 1998

 
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"
