While students at major universities may have access to the World Wide Web via campus computer labs, many have yet to take advantage of the Web's offerings. Regular demonstrations of Web sites were incorporated into an introductory advertising course to pique students’ interest in the Web. This paper discusses how Web site visits were incorporated into lectures and the students’ evaluation of the Web site component of the course.

The Web

This chapter examines the role of the World Wide Web in traditional lecture based courses. It details a student oriented approach to the development and maintenance of course Web sites. An experiment was conducted in order to determine if use of a course Web site improves student performance. The surprising results, that students in certain sections did not use the site at all, are analyzed. It was concluded that using the Web in class and making Web assignments part of student’s graded work may impact use of a course Web site.

Work Education

Social work education programs have begun to use the World Wide Web as a means of providing an educational tool and a delivery system for information about their programs. This paper provides an introduction to Web concepts, describes a procedure for creating a simple Web site, and investigates current use of the Web by BSW programs. It was found that 125, (39.1 percent) BSW programs have a social work Web site. The types and quality of information provided varied widely among programs. Programs provide information on mission, course descriptions, faculty descriptions, admissions requirements, and curriculum. In addition, almost half of programs offered a means for students to contact the program through e-mail. Only a small number of programs provided other program specific information such as syllabi, newsletters, financial aid, alumni information, or policy manuals. Approximately one-third of the programs provided links to other sources on the Internet. Only 14 percent of programs' sites were rated excellent by students. The potential of the World Wide Web to promote information sharing among social work programs and organizations is discussed.

The World Wide Web (web) grows apace, yet many web sites possess a confusing design, frustrating would-be users. We offer a structured approach, called SPUD (Site - Purpose Users Design) to the task of designing, not implementing, web sites. Our methodology focuses upon a structured walkthrough of a web site and consists of three phases (and 15 substeps), with possible iteration between the stages. (1) Define the audience characteristics of users of the web site, including their motives for visiting, their demographics, and their likely technological capabilities. (2) Plan accordingly the structure of the web site, the page layouts, and the navigation procedures between pages. (3) Develop and test functions useful to the users of the web site, such as a search function (for a complex web site) or an order function (for a retail web site).
