An incremental approach to implementing a web course

Conclusion Our premise, that involvement with Web-based instruction proceeds best incrementally, has been explored in a variety of examples. A range of options, as well as a strategy for dealing with them systematically, has been presented. Our four-step model, adapted from an earlier one by DeBloois & Alder (1973), has four levels: awareness, faculty support, faculty skills, and departmental effort. Practitioners in higher education in the 21st Century will need to capitalize on creative ways to build Web resources, used one at a time, into existing courses, leading to enhanced learning opportunities for students and faculty alike
