Abstract

In under ten years, the World Wide Web has become an integral part of our everyday lives. During this time, it has also affected education in various ways, serving as a resource as well as a medium for instruction. How has the Web affected Computer Science education? What kinds of resources are available on the Web to support Computer Science courses? How can these resources be located? How can the resources be used in a traditional course? What are the pedagogical merits of using these resources, and what are the pitfalls? These are some of the questions that will be examined in this panel. The panelists will also share their experiences using such resources and list some recommendations for using them. The audience will be invited to introduce the resources they use and share their experiences at the end of the panel.
