Course Web Sites: State-of-the-Art - Svitlana Grankovska and Jesse Heines
Abstract: 230 course Web sites were visited to assess state-of-the-art characteristics based on 16 key factors. Analysis of these sites revealed that most provide only one-way communication from instructor to students. Few provide ways to send feedback to the instructor other than via e-mail, and even fewer provide ways to interact with other students. Faculty at various institutions were surveyed on course Web site development and maintenance. That survey revealed that time is the biggest obstacle to improving course Web sites or having them at all, even when using commercial tools. Most faculty develop and maintain their own sites, even when help is available from a university Web office.
