  32. The Fun Side of Web Enhancement Adding the unexpected

  33. To maintain your sanity…you don’t have to do it all at one time. • Add a little each semester. • Learn one new component each semester. The basic course comes with several essential components. Other things like URLs, My Grades, etc. are added components. • Online quizzes are helpful for student remediation.

  34. Conclusion • Web-enhancement can serve as a transitioning technique, which would allow gradual introduction to software applications throughout the semester for both students and faculty. Access to faculty and course materials can be facilitated with this technological intervention. Through web-enhancement, students can take an active role in their learning. Web-enhancement can facilitate integration of technology competencies into curricula.
