Abstract:
This case study examines the implementation of a multi-disciplinary course to prepare students for living overseas. The same instructor taught this course to over 1000 students over a period of four years. Teaching evaluations and written comments were used discovering that a traditional course was
preferred over an online course. Findings suggest that colleges carefully consider the target markets and
curriculum before deciding whether the curriculum should be Internet-based.
