Abstract

This paper presents a formulation for creating educationally sound Internet based learning environments. The mere use of the Internet does not necessarily add educational value. Rather careful attention to the design of learning environments is essential, regardless of the technology used. Suggestions are offered for designing Internet based learning environments based on well researched and widely accepted "best practices" for education. These suggestions show how email, chat rooms, web pages, discussion forums and listservs can be used to create educationally rich learning environments.
