A toggle button at the top of the frame gives the student option of switching from the links to the course modules to likes to each modules reference resources. With the Course Module button activated, students have access to the instructional and assignment modules. The Introduction module lays out the format for the rest of the modules in the course and also provides the student an overview of what is required. Each subsequent module deals with aspects of the Internet and on-line communications that students must master to effective participate and contribute to the Internet. When the Course Information and Resources button is activates students have access to the course reference material and resources.
All reference material is available on-line.
Each of these sections point to the most current and effective resources available on the Internet. One of the more challenging aspects of maintaining this course is keeping track of the changing resource URLs and updating the list with newer and more effective material. Other than internal links that point to components of locally produced course resources, most links point to sites throughout the world. One exciting part of putting together an on-line course is that instead of telling the student where to go to get material or information you can actually give that student a link the actual resource or expert. Immediate access to experts and their material make the Internet a very powerful instructional tool.
