These could be incorporated into assignments without the need to create materials or Web sites from scratch. Many textbook publishers also provide tests and assessment instruments that can easily be incorporated into media-enhanced classes. Textbook publishers, such as W.W. Norton, are also using WebCT for supplementary Internet materials. Since UCF is using WebCT as its course management tool, faculty can readily use available commercial materials. The faculty are willing to incorporate existing curricular materials into the course redesign.
Nobody wants to re-invent the wheel.
We are already using each other's course materials extensively. We are committed to creating a central body of computer-based resources, which will be accessible to all, and we are committed collectively to improve these resources as we use them. We have already developed a substantial body of such resources. The hypertext is constantly under development. We have also developed some homework problems that make use of Java applets for interactive learning and that can be submitted via CGI scripts for efficient grading and record keeping.
