Abstract

A Web-based distance learning course developed with World Wide Web Courseware (WebCT) is the focus of this article. The course, Advanced Reference: Online Searching Techniques, concentrates on assisting students in developing information literacy skills. Results from a study of the pilot course indicated that (a) participants' attitudes toward Web-based instruction are positive, and (b) Web-based instruction provides a learning environment in which participants can develop electronic literacy skills and share their ideas and projects. Building on the findings of the study, the course was modified and updated to take advantage of the enhancements in a new version of WebCT.
