The WebScience project seeks to adapt the Just-in-Time Teaching method (JiTT) to science and mathematics courses at IUPUI. Just-in-Time Teaching is a pedagogical strategy that succeeds through a fusion of high-tech and low-tech elements. On the high-tech side, we use the World Wide Web to deliver multimedia curricular materials and to manage electronic communications among faculty and students. On the low-tech side, we maintain a classroom environment that emphasizes personal teacher-student and student-student interactions. We combine these disparate elements in several ways, and the interplay produces an educational setting that students find engaging and instructive. The underlying method is to use feedback between the Web and the classroom to increase interactivity and allow rapid response to students' problems.
