Abstract/Contents:"The authors describe the developmental process and methods used to create an on-line set of turfgrass specialty 300-level modules for both students and turfgrass professional. A 1 credit-hour golf course management module is the first course to be developed and currently being taught. In 2001 and 2002, two more 1 credit-hour modules, sports field management and environmental lawn care, will be designed using a similar model. The modules focus on students using scientific information to develop environmentally-conscious management practices and strategies for use in practical situations. The students are assigned to a group, or with low student numbers, they work individually for the 6-week module. Through reading assignments, threaded online discussions, as well as their own experiences, the students will come up with a solution, which they can defend, for each situation. This teaching format will extend our teaching capabilities to students and turfgrass professionals we could not formerly reach."
