Objective: Although the Internet is new, many educators see it as a future instructional medium that will rival the face-to-face classroom. Currently, we have very little experience teaching a course using only the Internet. The objective of the course evaluated in this article was to test the feasibility and effectiveness of teaching a semester-long social work Ph.D. course on Technology Supported Practice entirely over the Internet. The course was open to master’s of social work and Ph.D. students, and continuing education students. Method: Internet tools used included aWeb site, listserv, discussion forum, and chat room. Results: Findings suggest that the Internet provides ample tools to deliver a course, especially when chat is used. Students report satisfaction and learning similar to a face-to-face classroom. Conclusion: The Internet provides an environment rich enough to teach at a level of quality consistent with a face-to-face classroom.
