COMPUTERS IN TEACHING Student Projects Embracing New Computer Technologies: Opportunities for Student Scholarship on the World Wide Web

In this artick, we demonstrate how faculty can integrate World Wide Web projects into course assignments. We explore: (a) impkmentatim of electronic term papers (ETP), (b) pedagogical objectives of the assignment, (c) educational benefits of the ETP. id) an exemplar ETP, (e) grading of ETPs, (f) resource and copyright issues, and (g) student evaluations of the approach. Olir goal is to demonstrate how students and faculty can join together to use new technologies in a collaborative fashion that results in student self-discouev and self-cm~truction of knaukdge. When students and faculty join together as coproducers of learning and accept joint responsibility for the same outcome, there is synergistic potential in their collaboration. The role offaculty in this learning paradigm is not to impart knowledge hut to create environments and experiences that allow for student self-discovery and self-construction of knowledge
