Abstract
A growing number of instructors are putting course resources on the World Wide Web (WWW) [Berners-Lee et al. 1994], from simple course descriptions through traditional printed handouts to complete “classroom-free” classes ([Team Web 1995] provides a broad sampling of such resources). However, there appears to be a paucity of evaluation of WWW- based classroom resources. Do they help or do they hurt? Which materials are more valuable or less valuable? After using a wide range of resources — including readings, notes, transcriptions, and traditional handouts — in two introductory Computer Science courses for nonscientists, I surveyed students about their reactions to the materials. Based on the reactions of the first group of students (Summer 1994), I redeveloped the collection, organization, and survey form. This paper reports on the redevelopment of the course web and the subsequent student reactions for the Summer 1995 session.
