Abstract

While experts in educational multimedia generally welcome the Web in education, it is important to take into account the views of learners about the role of the Web in teaching and learning, as they are the primary participants in the Web-based educational experience. This paper discusses a Web-based study on learners' views of the Web. The discussion starts with an examination of the emergence of the Web in education and some key features, which represent a shift to a new educational paradigm. However, what Web specialists' value may not be necessarily accepted by learners. Therefore, it is important to examine learners' view in relation to the Web impact. The second part of the paper deals with a study using a Web-based research approach to investigate the attitudes of university students towards the role of the Web in teaching and learning.
