Computer-Supported Human Cooperation in Electronic Classrooms.
Tomasz Müldner, Robin A. Nicholl · 1996
Abstract: Recently, there has been growing excitement over the use of electronic classrooms. This paper provides a carefully balanced view of the advantages of using various technological facilities to improve teaching and learning, while recognizing the continuing need for a human teacher who coordinates and controls the learning process. In particular, our view is that technology should not be intrusive and should serve as a „means “ towards specific educational goals, not as an „end “ in itself. To illustrate this view we offer as a „case study “ our vision of a course that uses electronic classrooms to assist teachers and students.
