Bicknell-Holmes, Tracy Martin, Sara Course Content Curriculum Development Educational Environment Faculty Development Higher Education Instructional Design Introductory Courses Learning Theories Library Instruction Material Development Multimedia Instruction Multimedia Materials Online Systems Program Development Teaching Methods Theory Practice Relationship Workshops World Wide Web Following a discussion of opportunities for improving academic rigor that addresses the challenges of curriculum redesign, theories of learning and multimedia design, and academic departments and multimedia design, this paper focuses on the migration of an introductory course on library research skills at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln from a self-paced, paper manual to a World Wide Web-based, multimedia platform.
