This can be done either through the formal adoption of something like TopClass, or a standard set of templates for web course support. Interfaces for Web courses to administrative student systems must be created and fully implemented to ease the burden of administration of these types of courses. Every attempt should be made to make the use of the web easy and natural to our faculty and students. The style of all pages should reinforce these values by repeated use of identified symbols. The pages should stimulate interest in UNCG by all potential students, and the community, in general.
