Throughout the early 1990's we explored gopher sites and completed veronica searches on a wide variety of entomological subjects. As these electronic papers were not available locally or conveniently through our library, the Internet provided fast, efficient and impressive results. We were able to add significantly to our knowledge base. Purely out of a selfish motivation to organise and update my entomology notes, I taught myself html and began assembling an interactive, multimedia enhanced Forest Entomology, web-based course. I began accepting my first remote e-students.
All courses are complete with illustrated lecture notes, some with sound files and video.
All the assignments and evaluations are interactive and 'live' on the web. Every project can be completed via e-mail, in a totally paperless manner. You can even register on-line. I have been fortunate to have taught these courses in the classroom and on-line at a few colleges and universities. Content is interactive through java forms, e-mail and chat.
