Course Description:
The Web-enhanced Classroom uses technology to enhance traditional face-to-face (f2f) instruction. This online training course prepares face-to-face teachers to incorporate online strategies into their classroom instruction. This course increases the awareness of the number of Web-based tools available and teaches how to use them effectively to enhance instruction. Online material is viewed as an extension of the classroom, and traditional lectures or classroom activities are linked with enhancements, such as virtual tours, WebQuests, real-time information, maps, pictures, streaming video, audio clips, and open-source online course components.

At the completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Explore ways to transform curriculum to build a web-enhanced learning environment.
