Teaching with Technology: Developing the Course Website

The course website can be a powerful tool for developing and sustaining communication between instructor and students. It can be as simple as an introduction to the course and a syllabus or can gain in complexity through the use of such instructional tools as email, class discussions, and posting of completed assignments. The links below provide tutorials for designing a course website using Macromedia’s Dreamweaver or FrontPage 2000.
