4. A Bibliography of Exemplary Web-Enabled Courses
at the University of Alberta
Web-enabled courses are increasing exponentially at a rate that makes it
almost impossible to track. The number of WebCT courses is one indicator
of the amount of this mushrooming of activity online. CNS reports that
there are over 750 courses which make use of WebCT during the 1999-2000 academic year.
This involves approximately 450 instructors and over 65,000 registrants.
These sites are password protected which limits access to those students
registered in the course.
No count is available of the total number of Web-enabled courses that exist
independently from WebCT. We may be assured that we are well beyond the
early adopter stage and moving rapidly towards the majority of our instructors
using the Web in some way to enhance their teaching.
The Bibliography of Web-enabled Courses appended to this memo provides a
wealth of case examples of the exemplary use of Internet-based instruction
on campus. The list includes sites created by individual instructors as
well as a number of academic programs that make extensive use of online
learning environments. This bibliography is by no means a full accounting
of all of the exemplary Web related teaching initiatives underway at our
University. However, it does provide a sampling of the instructionally robust
ways that technology has been used to better serve the learning needs of
the students at the University of Alberta.
