This paper reports on a study of the effectiveness of a basic botany unit, which has been enhanced by online support materials. A WebCT site was developed to provide digital access to materials studied in practical sessions. Whereas previously, students only saw practical material once, now they have access to high quality, colour images, to study at their leisure. The online materials were eva...
