I've been wondering about this issue as well, especially since I won't
be using a traditional textbook. I had been planning to use something
like the powerpoints Lori mentioned. But one idea I'm kicking around
is using a wiki and having the students 'create' the notes themselves.
Has anyone done anything like that? Even if you haven't, do you think
it would work?
