Extending Traditional Classroom Boundaries

Abstract

Mainframe and networked computers provide faculty and students the opportunity to carry on classroom discussions, or conversations that might never take place, even after the bell rings. Internet and World Wide Web facilities provide additional sources of ideas and information and limitless opportunities for students to engage the world of economics outside the classroom. With examples of real world experiences using e-mail, electronic conferences, and the World Wide Web, this paper provides readers with an exposure to some of the uses as well as the costs and benefits associated with incorporating these types of electronic components into economics courses. Instructors who value the processes of discussion, dialogue, and public discourse and who are interested in incorporating these forms of electronic resources into their courses, whether serving small or large numbers of students, will find useful ideas for enhancing economics courses.
