The chapters on the impact of learning theories ... provide a useful insight into the psychological processes that underpin learning.
Book Description
Web sites are increasingly being used by educators in place of traditional content media and instructional approaches, such as texts and lectures. This new teaching philosophy has led to a myriad of questions concerning instructional design principles, learners' cognitive strategies, human-Internet interaction factors and instructional characteristics of Web media that transverse political, geographic and national boundaries.
Instructional and Cognitive Impacts of Web-Based Education is a compendium of materials by noted researchers and practitioners that addresses national and international issues and implications of Web-based instruction and learning, offering suggestions and guidelines for analyzing and evaluating Web sites from cognitive and instructional design perspectives.
