For most others, the Internet is used as a peripheral assistance to face to face teaching. Within my own teaching, the web is increasingly being used to assist in delivery of knowledge leaving the face to face classes for interactional activities. Move to face to face teaching suggests a way of teaching that students are not familiar with. There is a need to educate students in use of computers for more than word processing and legal research. Educational theories behind the move posit teaching styles that students do not like.
Students desire the familiar or lectures that assist in developing summaries for exams.
Student resistance can be a significant problem. The 'rather plain' look of the pages are a result of regulatory guidelines for Disabled Access, and not due to the limited budget. There are no passwords or other limiting devices so please browse. The lack of passwords was intentional since I believe in the openness and accessibility of the Internet and do not mind outsiders following the course and learning something. Student surveys have been very positive, once the initial unfamiliarity was overcome.
