Library Journal-Rezension

Horton, a multimedia applications specialist at Dartmouth College and coauthor of Web Style Design, has written a time-saving, illustrated guide that instructs teachers and facilitators how to put course content on the web. Horton's intelligent and succinct presentation enables teachers to tailor their approach and gradually add other material when reorganizing, updating, and expanding. The focus is on creating sites that are visually attractive, pedagogically useful, and easy to utilize and maintain. For those with little or no experience with web authoring, this guide is a helpful start. For those who have dabbled with a project or two, it can provide guidance to employing further techniques and approaches. Teachers' colleges can also utilize this work for touching on the pedagogical effectiveness of instructional technology. Best of all, educators can use the web without reading about its history, current developments, or future prospects. In addition, helpful notes of advice are scattered throughout, such as information on how to copyright a site. Recommended for most academic libraries.DLeroy Hommerding, Fort Myers P.L.
