WebTeach: A Web Paradigm for Teaching

The explosive emergence of web as a fountainhead of all kinds of resources has been demanding a new paradigm in every human endeavour. Education is no exception. Web at the same time has become a mother of all resources- backbone of all communications- a play ground for all experiments and a common place of action for increasing number of people and institutions.
Education is one of those human endeavours which has been highly affected and greatly benefited by the web phenomenon. I teach in the department of computer science and engineering at SDM College of Engineering and Technology, Dharwad, India. I have been exploring web resources and incorporating them into my teaching process for quiet sometime. Way back in 2000, I used email as a means of sending questions to students and receiving answers to them as part of my basic skills lab evaluation. More recently, I used a combination of email, online docs to conduct seminars by about 120+ students almost entirely eliminating all paper work. In this blog, I shall be describing my approach for using web resources in my teaching process
