ABSTRACT
In the previous chapter we examined resource-based learning and provided a brief overview of some key learning theories. We saw that our models of learning require interaction and a ‘learning conversation’ to take place. This learning conversation may occur directly between the teacher and the student or be mediated through a variety of RBL materials. We also saw that, as an ideal, good RBL will not only accommodate a variety of learning styles but will also ensure that effective learning strategies and approaches are followed. We suggested that the Web, with its ability to include a range of powerful media forms and its interactive capability, enables us to support a sophisticated range of interaction and provide a rich environment for teaching. How can the Internet support such interaction?
