I am also interested in the developemtn and benefits of this new culture of sharing teaching/learning materials through institution walls (i.e., web-posting a hyperlinked on-line syllabus that hyperspatially brings in expert guest speakers from all over the world). I am also curious about how it can be determined if the use of on-line teaching materials (visuals, audio, hyperlinked articles, interactive exercises...) enhances student learning. I am *not* looking for studies concerned with the relative benefits of on-line courses or distance learning. I am also trying to find grant sources that support website development, assuming the conclusion that these *are* worthwhile endeavors. Any suggestions? Places I can go to learn about these things? Thanks.
