An extension of this pedagogical approach could be utilized on the course web page to increase its interactivity. I propose to examine exercises and activities that would be appropriate for the course web page and to decide which ones to include on the page. I would also decide which of the activities or exercises would be graded and the criteria for grading. Therefore, the course objectives for SLW 603 are fairly extensive. Any medium that would assist in meeting those course objectives would enhance the instruction of SLW 603.
Technology certainly is one such medium.
I sense that our students are coming into the program more comfortable with computers and the internet, more prepared to use the web-based instruction. Although the number of us who are currently using web-based intstruction is small, the interest and enthusiasm among faculty for this type of instruction is great. I would be willing to continue open access as well as provide individual assistance to faculty who would like to set up their own web page. Presentations to faculty are common in the School of Social Work and that would be another form of sharing the results of the project. The revised course web page would then be introduced in the Summer or Fall of 2000.
