Perspectives in Web Course Management tackles the ever-changing Internet as a pedagogical tool. The wide variety of perspectives from Canadian, American, and Australian teachers and experts makes this the essential guide to Web course management. The book moves beyond 1980's technology (e-mail, bulletin boards, newsgroups, and listservs) that have been incorporated into more sophisticated systems; it also suggests that Web-supported systems that incorporate VR, IRC and ICQ are not yet feasible in today's use. Perspectives in Web Course Management focuses specifically on managing courses using comprehensive Web Course management systems such as WebCT, Top Class, and Lotus LearningSpace. Web course development tools and development efforts at particular institutions are covered. Other chapters are theoretical, offering models or commenting on the current state of the art. The only certainty is that Web course management will change in the next few years. Perspectives in Web Course Management will provide invaluable support for those who need up-to-date information for today's situation.

Review

This collection will encourage you to try if you're new to teaching on the Web, and it will stimulate you to improve if you're already a practitioner." -- Dr Robin Mason, Institute of Educational Technology, The Open University.
