Internet-based learning
method
The Internet is a valuable information tool, but
Group discussions on newsgroups
provide
students a chance to compose their thoughts, but
lack
some of the dynamics on classroom
discussions and favor students
that are
comfortable with e-mail and newsgroups.
Low cost interactive
video over the Internet
provides students with some of the dynamics
of a classroom discussion but lack methods to
moderate or facilitate discussions.
Real time interactive video solves many of the
above problems but raises the cost of the system
to such a high level
that it limits those that can
access the system. Thus, type of interaction
needed by the students will determine which
technology is most suited.
Benefits to the instructor:
1-Lower cost in electronic publication of course
material compared to printing the same
material.
2-Faster methods for electronically revising and
re-distributing course materials and
documentation compared to print materials.
3-Using
the World Wide Web for delivering
courses allows instructors to develop
content a
single platform, yet the content is accessible by
students
using a wide range of WWW browsers.
4-Ability to re-use lecture materials by simply
providing links
5-Ability to automatically track student's online
behavior.
6-Having automated registration and billing
using commerce WWW servers.
7-Larger number of students can take courses .
