Description
Summary:	By far the greatest impact from technology on higher education has been made by the World Wide Web. The Web has become ubiquitous and skill in using it is now assumed in higher education. This document offers examples of the impact of the Web at the University of Central Florida, Orlando, a campus that is considered to be a leader in using the Web. Examples are given of Web impact with reference to: (1) communication; (2) access by new audiences; (3) institutional infrastructure; (4) faculty training and development; (5) curriculum revision and development; (6) student support; (7) learner centered teaching; (8) changes in teaching style; (9) administrative support; and (10) research opportunities. Several references and an example from the University of Central Florida are given for each of the areas. (SLD)
