About this title

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.'
