What are Syllawebs?
Syllawebs are class documents that students download off the Internet, view and print as files. Normally, they are the documents you hand out within the first two weeks of your course, such as your syllabus, course information, grading standards, class rules, etc. Using syllawebs is cost-effective as it saves duplication costs and students can access it "anytime, anywhere." It also ensures that your students know about the Internet and gain some experience working on the Web.

Syllawebs are not instructional Web sites. If you would like to include instructional activities, like your personal information, outlines, study guides, presentations, practices, or discussion forums, please contact us and we will help you create an instructional Web site for your class with links to these activities and files. Please check our workshops listing (http://itdc.lbcc.edu/workshops/index.html) for our workshop "Make Your Course Web Enhanced."

How Are Syllawebs Posted?
After you send your file , the ITDC Staff will prepare the file for the Web and post it on the E-Courses Directory (see below). If you do not see the file posted within a few days, please contact C.C. Sadler.

How Do Students Access Syllawebs?
On the LBCC Homepage (http://www.lbcc.edu), click on "Distance Learning and Web Enhanced Courses." This leads you to the Distance Learning Program Web page. The button called "E-Courses Directory, Gateway to LBCC E-Courses" will take you to the E-Courses Directory. Syllawebs are listed on the E-Courses Directory: http://de.lbcc.edu/e-courses/ --under the listing: "Web Enhanced Courses and Syllawebs." Then, they are listed by discipline. You may explore the "Web Enhanced Courses and Syllawebs" area of the E-Courses Directory to examine the syllawebs and instructional web sites of your colleagues.

How Do I Prepare My Syllaweb for Delivery?
