Abstract

Most universities are embracing Computer Managed Learning (CML) systems such as WebCT and Blackboard as their preferred mode of distance education and, in many cases, their preferred mode of distributing course materials to on campus students. Thus, paperless modes of document and content delivery are becoming the norm. These ‘paperless modes’ can include a large number of formats from Microsoft Word documents to podcasts to video lectures. The authors wondered how students made use of these materials. Are these materials being used in the ways that the providers imagined and are they the resources that the students wish to use?
