Instructional design
These articles and reports will help you build an effective learning environment using Internet technologies. They focus on practical, specific advice rather than posing and answering questions of a theoretical nature.

Course assessment
Many are questioning how to evaluate courses in this new medium. Here are several sites that address the analysis of online courses both independent of and dependent on student performance.

Course examples
One of the best ways to build an effective teaching tool is to sample others' solutions and test their strengths and weaknesses for yourself. Take a look at the online learning environments created by other universities.

K-12 projects
The implementation of online education initiatives has not been restricted to higher education. Though the projects presented here employ methods that are both technically and administratively suited to primary and secondary instructors and their students, UT faculty could find this information helpful (especially those in education or related fields).

Technology & instructional theory
If you are interested in a more academic analysis of various aspects of computer-aided instruction, or perhaps just looking for the sound theoretical basis behind the push for technology enhanced instruction, you are likely to find the information you seek in these scholarly papers.

Portals & collections
These sites have compiled various useful information resources. You can find papers, reports, tutorials and more within any one of these sites. As central repositories of information, they provide a way to focus your search for online instruction resources outside of the University.
