The next best thing to knowing something is knowing where to find it.  You can shout "Eureka!" for knowing where to find something, but what about accessibility?  If the rare book you need is in China and you are in Montreal, then time and distance are your worst enemies.  The Internet is a technological victory against these two enemies.

The nature and function of academic courses websites encompasses a myriad of aspects.  Different strokes for different folks.  The website, for instance, of the course this website was created for was the leading information provider of expected academic activities.

This website was created as partial fulfillment towards an academic course (EDUC 432-200C), offered by the Faculty of Education, at McGill University in Montreal.  This website follows no particular format.  It demonstrates ability to create a website, and is a sample of the type of information that could go into an academic course website.  What goes into a course website depends on many factors, but the characteristic, of any website, I value the most is its around the clock worldwide accessibility.
