Introduction Putting lecture material online is a time-consuming undertaking.
Before communicating any subject matter, faculty has to invest time and effort in dealing with computer-related administrative overhead . In traditional lecture preparations, faculty can profit from years of previously prepared written material, while for online classes, they often unnecessarily re-create learning modules that already exist online. Lecture Online is a means for faculty to collaboratively develop modular online resources and share them with each other, even between different institutions, with one central server. All interaction with the system can be accomplished with only the web-browser as interface, no additional software or plugins are needed. Lecture Online provides a homogeneous navigational interface into which web-pages and individualized homework problems from different sources can be compiled in a way transparent to the student.
