    What keeps people coming back to your web page? Interactivity. This means that people get to do something -- for example, check the weather in Buenos Aires, play Jeopardy, move a remote camera, click a diagram that comes apart, practice pronunciation, watch a movie clip, or play an imaginary stock market.

    You may have something spectacular to tell your students about, but they may not even dream of its existence. How do you get students to look at your course Web site regularly, if they don't know what they need or what you have to offer? One solution is to give them something that they do want. When they arrive at your site, you have a golden opportunity to show them much more than what they could get out of a text book.

Is it engaging, challenging ?

Can a visit to your Web site improve, enlighten, or inspire your viewer?

Do you offer something the person needs?

     Give them something -- for example, a means of measuring their knowledge. Students like to test their knowledge in a risk-free situation. "I knew it!" feels good. By including an occasional 'multiple-choice form' to survey opinion, or a 'fill-in-the-blank form' to assess progress, or a text box to gather responses, you can make your students feel like they are doing something on your Web site.

     Change your site often. Dynamic sites are more engaging. Students won't want to come back to see the same old thing. Otherwise, at the beginning of the semester, a student could just download the pages of the site, print them out and say, "That's it." Also, let your students know when and where to look for new material. For example, if you prepare your pages over the weekend and put them up Monday morning, tell the students to check-in every Monday morning. Also, mark the new material with a special little graphic, so they can zero-in on it. The rhythm and manner of your updating activity will affect the degree to which your students will 'actively interact' on your web site.
