The author uses a variety of Internet‐related technologies to support pedagogical approaches where students become conscious of their role in the production of knowledge in a public and critically collaborative environment. These approaches also seek to address theory/practice dichotomies by using the Internet to bridge academic and parish contexts. The article describes and assesses three courses utilizing web‐based technology. One course features student portfolios posted on a website with peer‐ and parish‐based reviewers. A second course features student creation of the course text with contributions from external professionals. A third course features a ministry resource website created by students.
