Title:
THE WEB AS AN INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCE FOR IMPROVING COURSE QUALITY.

Abstract:
THE WEB AS AN INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCE FOR IMPROVING COURSE QUALITY. James K. Hardy, Department of Chemistry, The University of Akron, Akron, Ohio 44325.

Over the last two years, a web site has been used in association with a number of Chemistry courses offered at the University of Akron. At present, ten of our courses benefit from this approach at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Resources include a range of review material, interactive practice examinations, animations, a bulletin board, and distribution of homework assignments. An overview of the approach, methods used and typical time requirements will be presented. In addition, results of recent undergraduate students will show the impact that using a web based resource have on student interest and retention will be provided.
