Conference jointly sponsored by the Journal of Economic Education and the National Science Foundation.

In this article, we describe the preparation and execution of a statistics course, an undergraduate econometrics course, and a microeconomic theory course, each of which uses Internet technology as an integral part of the delivery of the course. We address the pedagogical and technical issues that must be resolved to achieve each of Chickering and Gamson's (1987) seven principles for good teaching practice using this medium. Pedagogical issues are paramount if the goal is to achieve the best teaching practice. Of equivalent importance, however, is choosing a technology that will support the chosen pedagogical strategy and work well over the World Wide Web.

The subset of deaf children with relatively low likelihood of early neurological damage additional to deafness show developmental reading trajectories that continue above the 4th grade level. This subset is more likely to seek college admission, and have average reading levels closer to, but still typically below, their hearing
