Synopsis

Based on the author's experience using computers and multimedia in teaching large, multisection courses, this groundbreaking text demonstrates how teaching professionals at all levels of instruction can use `paperless' electronic dialoguing to dramatically improve classroom instruction. The book explains how to employ such tools as:

  • hypertext, animation, morphs, CAD, and virtual reality
  • interactive strategies using of e-mail
  • `self-regulation', a means of enhancing students'independence and efficiency
  • and `intranets', networks that are off the Web but operate on the same basic principle.

Review

`Web - Teaching is a very common title for a very uncommon book. Written from the perspective of a college teacher, the volume provides how-to instructions for the use of the World Wide Web in teaching, as well as a soul-searching discussion of the appropriateness and effectiveness of different instructional approaches.'
Science Books & Films, December 1997

`From a simultaneous review of Internet Links for Science Education and Web Teaching: `One cannot finish this book without understanding why science is best learned through an interactive inquiry-based approach....These two books provide a breath of fresh air and clarity....Both books construct the pedagogical groundwork required to successfully integrate the Internet and the Web into the new paradigm in science education.'
BioScience, May 1998
