I'd definitley like to see some of these courses. I have assumptions (based on some preliminary reserach), that these sites tend to be being theoretically unsophisticated, which I wouldn't mind having dispelled, though I'm not sure if visiting a site would give a clear indication of what's going on in the course. In composition pedagogy research, I've often seen historians draw conclusions about what's going on in class based on what textbooks were assigned, whereas the textbook or hand book may have very little to do with classroom practices. For example, I always assign a handbook, precisely because I understand grammar issues as highly idiosynchratic and rarely discuss grammar rules in class (well, beyond the basic writing level). In cases where the web site *is* the course, however, that might not be the case. My other question is how are these web courses adapted or adaptable to the particularly chemistry and rhythms of each individual class?
