Abstract

The Internet holds promise as a globally interconnected information system, even though its interaction capability is limited. Yet for education, interaction is critical. Can the Internet support high quality learning interactions? We ported an existing interactive instructional program to the world wide web (WWW) to demonstrate the potential of the Internet for interactive education. In this paper we explore the potential technology solutions, implement our solution and indicate the results, both positive and negative. © 1998 IFIP, published by Chapman & Hall Ltd
