| Sumario: | The unprecedented educational resources and possibilities open by the World Wide Web are not restricted to those faculty and students who are experts in technology or are involved in web-based courses. This article focuses on traditional classroom-based higher education and explores how it can be enhanced and supported through three major types of web usage: a) using a web browser to access materials and resources; b) using web-boards and chatrooms for interaction; and c) using familiar wordprocessing and presentation software to create and post on the web one's own documents and presentations. The article discusses the educational benefits that can be enjoyed by faculty and students in each of these three types of usage. The breadth and depth of those benefits is particularly striking in face of the simplicity of the skills required, and range from very specific instructional gains before, during and after classroom meetings to broader issues such as participation in learning communities and lifelong learning. |
