Implementation Issues•Initial development•Maintenance•Time involvement•Student help
Data•Usage
•30,000+ site hits (median #/student: 82.5; 25th percentile: 45; 75th percentile: 223)•620 Bulletin Board Hits•1689 emails to and from me alone•12 scheduled online study sessions plus several others that formed among students
•Relation between usage and grades•Correlation between hits and grade was modest but significant (r = 0.328)•Still working on other objective indices of instructional success

Student Feedback and projected changes•Likes and Dislikes
•“Online assignments and quizzes helped in the learning process…”
•“…I also appreciate the quizzes and web-assignments because I hate classes which are based on test scores alone.”
•“I found it difficult doing web assignments because I don’t own a computer. Next time you should take into consideration that every student might not have access to one.”
•“…it was assumed that we all had time (and wanted to) check the bulletin board every day! That’s not possible.”
•Changes for subsequent semesters•Incorporate feedback•Incorporate results from assignments
