The Internet and Education
(from: Rudenstine, N.L. (1997) The Internet and Education: Chronicle
of Higher Education Feb. 21.)
Four examples of the fit between the Internet and Education:
"The Internet can provide access to essentially unlimited sources of information
not conveniently obtainable through other means."
"The Internet allows for the creation of unusually rich course materials."
"The Internet enhances the vital process " conversational"
learning."
"The Internet reinforces the conception of students as active agents in the
process of learning, not as passive recipients of knowledge from teachers and
authoritative texts."
