Abstract

Marylhurst University, located about ten miles south of Portland, Oregon, traditionally has appealed to adult students wishing to complete degrees or change careers, but an increase in “traditional” students and international students has become evident. In 1992, the staff began teaching a three‐credit course called “Information Power: Accessing, Assessing, and Acting on Information in an Era of Overload.” Since Spring 1997, the class has been offered also in an online format. In this article, Parise evaluates the pros and cons of Web‐based instruction. Although Web‐based classes are not for everyone, she concludes, the positive evaluations of those who have taken the class online make the effort worth while.
