At Texas A&M, many professors in the Horticulture department have put
teaching materials on the web. It's good as a supplementary resource, but
should NOT be the primary source for class materials. It's generally
inefficient, graphics and copyrighted materials present problems, and
students resent having to learn computer technology for horticulture and
plant physiology classes. But, there are a lot of study materials that
can be put on the web, and students usually appreciate their availability.
To see what has been going on for the last year and a half, check out the

I'm sure Dan Lineberger would be able to provide additional information
regarding what has and hasn't worked.
