Instead, enhanced student learning is the focus with teaching and assessment strategies being used towards the goal. Learns the basics in how to do this. Works with IT manager to develop a system that costs nothing, allows others to carry on teaching and publish materials on the Internet and is accessible to students. For instance, we selected Netscape composer as an html editor since it was already on everyone's machines, came free, is relatively simple to use and has minor network effects. Staff seminars were given showing what can be done, how to incorporate it in teaching, and very basic motivational how-to.
Small group classes with self selecting interested academics throughout the year.
Classes covered basic html editing, architecture of pages, regulations affecting content and the role of the Internet in teaching. These classes were followed by a one to one session assisting academics the first time they sat down and published. General interest of academics takes over. Start up time to develop a course for the Internet is long. It is not fully accurate to describe the process as one that was carried out for no cost.
