    Happy to - in fact, if you check out my syllabus on the net you can see
    exactly
    what we do (MGT 416 for undergrads, MGT 615 for MBAs).

    In the undergraduate course we learn how to use power point for presentations,
    we talk about e-mail and even how to leave a proper voice-mail message. I
    also
    assign them to create their own home page on the web. I think it's a
    technology that
    is growing fast and they should have familiarity with it. In fact, I don't
    hand out a copy
    of my syllabus - I assign them the first day to get on the web, find the
    syllabus and
    print out at least the first page to prove they found it. Works great. In
    some classes
    I also set up a listserve for the class and they discuss class issues there
    as well as
    in class.

    Cheers,

    Bill

    Thanks Dr. Snavely.
    I visited your site.
    Good to see that you utilize case studies.
    Wish more folks did.
    BTW I went to OU in another lifetime it seems.

    If you haven't visited his site please take a look.
