Web-Based teaching raises, for some instructors, a number of doubts and concerns. Is it more or less effective than traditional instruction? Do students really learn? And what teaching strategies and tools have proved most effective? The panelists in this forum are all faculty who have either taught or learned online, or have used the web to significantly enhance what they do in class.
