Title

Distance learning and use of the internet and the World Wide Web in education

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to address educational opportunities through distance learning and how to use the internet and the World Wide Web (WWW) to provide effective education to students at remote locations. A comparison between the traditional classroom verses distance learning will be presented. Due to the unprecedented technological advancements in recent years, the role of computer technology in education has changed for ever. An overview of various delivery mechanisms such as corresponding courses, taped lectures, interactive videos and internet will be discussed. While on a Fulbright scholarship leave to Jordan, Dr. Batarseh will teach a graduate level course on the Web. The current experience in setting up the first graduate course in the power electronics on the Web at the University of Central Florida will be given as a case study.
