The Internet as a Teaching and Learning
Tool
The Internet, while not a panecea for all teaching and
learning needs, does introduce many unique opportunities for nurturing
the exchange of ideas among a global community. Below are examples of how
students, teachers, researchers, and life-long learners are using the Internet
to:
Establish identity and create visibility.
Access information from the public knowledge base.
Contribute information of value to the public knowledge
base.
Invite discussion on issues of educational and scholarly
importance.
Provide consulting and collaborative services to communities
of learners, scholars and educators.
