Instructors use web sites for a wide variety of puposes - ranging from making the course syllabus electronically available, to posting practice quizzes and exams, to creating virtual communities.
Web sites can include visual, audio, and even video components.
All of the student dorms are wired to provide them high speed access to the Internet and the cluster computers are all connected to the Internet. A web browser is needed to view web pages. Internet Explorer is also widely used on campus. Some web pages will look different in one browser than they do in the other. No knowledge of HTML or other web-authoring tools is required to use Course Publisher.
