Welcome the web research tutorial!

This tutorial will guide you through the process of using and teaching your students to research using the world wide web. This tutorial is not primarily intended to design on-line or distance courses that use the web as modus operandi, but rather, those courses that supplement traditional face to face teaching with on-line resources.
