A Web-Based Model for University Instruction

Abstract

The Web as a new phenomenon in the information landscape of the university is being used to support course instruction. In most cases, however, the Web is used in support of a traditional model of university instruction and much of the potential of the Web is lost. An innovative model of Web-based university instruction is presented that more fully expresses and uses the power of the Web in opening up the interaction between student and knowledge. The model is a generic 6-point process that involves a new approach to university teaching and learning.
