Abstract

This article describes the process of converting materials from a traditionally delivered three credit undergraduate course on Information Literacy into the WebCT environment for distance learners. The 3-unit course content was reorganized to fit a 10-week summer session. A weekly schedule was imposed using elements from the traditional classroom: lecture notes, class exercises and participation, homework assignments, projects and exams.
