Students vary in how frequently they print online course materials. Some students print everything and read it offline. Most students print at least some of the time.

Creating pages which look good online is completely different than creating pages which print well. If a course with online materials provides students with a printable version, it may require quite a bit of additional work. It is helpful to students if you provide printable versions of key content optimized for print. Printable versions may take the form of .pdf or .doc files.
