With so much information so readily available, we must continue to give students the tools to analyze and assess it. A number of faculty members are using the Internet to augment their classroom resources. Many faculty have created home pages on the World Wide Web that contain links to specific class syllabi, reading lists, research materials and related Internet sites. Technology is being applied across the curriculum and in all divisions. Access to valuable primary sources has changed the way research is performed.
Teachers have access to more and more of the best materials and resources.
Innovation is occurring beyond use of the web. By creating electronic communities of students within the campus network itself, students and faculty are able to continue classroom discussions in a forum something like a bulletin board. Being able to carry on a discussion in that format allows students to pursue ideas without the intimidation or the time constraints of a classroom setting.
