This paper traces out the trials, tribulations and success stories that came with developing and using the WWW for supporting an M.B.A. introductory course in Management Information Systems at the Dalhousie School of Business - from creating an on-line, dynamic syllabus and an Òelectronic doorÓ for posting student marks, to the search for tasks to put into a conference system that would make usage both appropriate and irresistible. Issues such as intranet vs. internet, modelling good ÒnetiquetteÓ, and implications for ÒteleschoolÓ will be discussed.

While the job of going on-line was time consuming, results from a student survey at the end of the course indicate that from both the point of view of the students and the professor, the effort was worth the work involved, and led to successful learning outcomes for both parties.
