----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- For those of you who, like myself, have never managed to learn how to create a web page, there is a new service available that allows you to create a free web site for your courses. This service, classpage.com, makes it simple to put syllabi, handouts, etc. on the web. You just electronically transmit the documents to classpage.com, and they take care of the rest. No messing around with html coding or any of that. It is a simple as a few mouse clicks. And if you use web-based references in your courses (such as to on-line text sites), they will automatically create the links for you if the web addresses are on the materials that you provide to them. classpage.com is a free service. The company makes its money through advertising and through an arrangement with an on-line text seller from which the students can purchase their books for the course if they so desire. Students in your class have the option of electing not to receive email advertisements. So, if you are interested in getting your course materials up on the web and do not have the time or inclination to learn how do creat your own web page, you might want to check this out.
