OverviewThis book is about using the Internet as a teaching tool. It starts with the psychology of the learner and looks at how best to fit technology to the student, rather than the other way around. The authors include leading authorities in many areas of psychology, and the book takes a broad look at learners as people. Thus, it includes a wide range of materials from how the eye reads moving graphs on a Web page to how people who have never met face-to-face can interact on the Internet and create communities of learners. The book considers many Internet technologies, but focuses on the World Wide Web and new hybrid technologies that integrate the Web with other communications technologies.
