The links below are interesting examples of experiments using the WWW as a distribution medium. Some are intended as adjuncts to specific courses, while others are free-standing courses in their own right. The medium is wide open for innovation, and browsing through the examples is likely to generate questions and inspire heretical thoughts. I'd be glad to hear either, either by phone (x8647), F2F, or by e-mail.

Harry Kriz's Teaching and Publishing in the World Wide Web is an interesting commentary on the medium as a means to distribute scholarly information. See especially his "What Role for Publishers?" for some novel ideas on why to use the WWW medium as a means to reach wider audiences.
