This paper is a progress report on the design and
delivery of two short WebCT tutorials for students,
as part of a wider strategy to encourage further use
of online learning within the University. The tutorials
address issues of concern to the Department and to
the Higher Education community as a whole: the
indiscriminate use of Internet resources by students,
poor acknowledgement of sources and inaccurate
citation practice. The various stages of design and
delivery, as informed by guidance in action research
methods are described. Issues surrounding the use
of WebCT, including interactivity and accessibility,
are discussed and some preliminary results of
student evaluations and learning experiences are
presented
