Scaling Up: From Web-Enhanced Courses to a Web-Enhanced Curriculum - Robert E. Wood, Innovate

When educators discover the advantages of using online technology in their teaching, they are often inspired to incorporate technology more systematically into their departmental programs. In this article, Robert E. Wood explains how he and his colleagues took this step in the Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Criminal Justice at Rutgers University, Camden. Rather than focusing solely on their own courses, faculty members began working together to offer their students shared access to online tutorials, course Web sites, streaming video sessions, and a range of other resources. In the process, Wood observes, these efforts had the effect of creating much greater cohesion within the curriculum itself.
