Active Learning and The Internet

(Chuck Bonwell, April, 1997)

The following bibliography is designed to provide worthwhile materials to instructors who do not have easy access to traditional print resources. Although it is not comprehensive, it does give an idea of the types of materials that are available on the internet. Wherever possible I have included sites that have several resources available. Please recognize the changing nature of the internet. In the six week that it took to compile this bibliography, three of the sites originally included disappeared and two changed their URL. You may need to use a search engine to find a citation's new address.
