Homework in hypertext
No longer can students claim that the dog ate their homework. For a variety of courses at the Business School, students now turn to the World Wide Web for class assignments and course descriptions and even to hand in their homework. In some cases, students can exchange their ideas in an electronic discussion group established for a specific class.
Faculty use the Web to distribute electronic problem sets, discussion questions, and lecture notes, and to update syllabus material. Web technology gives faculty members flexibility in making course materials available quickly
and can allow those teaching different sections of the same class the opportunity to share materials among sections.
Courses that have used the Web so far include: Econometrics, Finance, Human Resource Management, Market Pricing, Marketing on the Internet, Marketing Management, Operations, Data and Decisions, Innovation and Technology Management, and the Sloan finance course. Web technology also will be used in the 1996 executive education programs.
