Abstract

The Internet—and its graphically attractive application, the World Wide Web (WWW)—is potentially a powerful educational tool. Barrie and Presti discuss three ways in which the WWW can be profitably used in education: as a giant encyclopedia, as a virtual classroom, and as a supplement to conventional courses.
