Objective: This study’s goal was to determine the effectiveness of using the Internet as a primary teaching method. Method: Introduction to Social Work students in three different class sections were taught social work history using three different teaching methods. One class section was taught using traditional lecture and discussion, a second was taught through a self-directed Internet assignment, and a third was taught using a combination of the Internet assignment and classroom discussion. A pretest and a posttest were administered to each class section to evaluate learning. Results: Contrary to preresearch expectations, it was found that students stated a preference for teacher contact over Internet instruction and performed better on a posttest when taught through traditional lectures than when taught through the Internet. Conclusion: Using Internet-only instruction may not be the most effective way to teach students about social work.
