introducing the use of the Internet for instruction, as a source, and as medium. In order to ascertain efficiency
and facilitate autonomy in increasing a dynamic vocabulary, different types of Internefacilitated
learning tasks
were developed and implemented in the course design for students of Informatics at Sofia University, Faculty of
Mathematics and Informatics. The tasks incorporated in the course include: choosing and critically evaluating
Webbased
texts, summarizing articles or writing a review of an Internet site, preparing a glossary using
Internet sources. Guidance and monitoring on this process are provided to ensure the quality of the chosen
sources. Course evaluation survey 1 was conducted in order to ensure course efficiency and to elicit suggestions
