Why Web-based Lecture/Lab Exercises?

Easy update information. I can modify the contents of notes one hour before the lecture.

Students can access on-line Internet mapping examples with the lecture/lab instructions.

Paper free (Except for the lab grading). Multi-media Enhancement. (Flash animation,

Mpeg movies…) No TA for this course.
