Integrating WWW Technology into Classroom Teaching: Students' Perspectives of the Usefulness of their Course Web sites

摘要

The purpose of this study is to explore students' perceptions of the use of World Wide Web (WWW) technology as an instructional resource specifically customized to support teaching and learning practices on campus-based classes. While there are many efforts to design meaningful learning environments mere is very little current instructional design literature on fostering and support of Web-based environments. This study examined college students' perspectives on the usefulness of specific Web site functions used for teaching and learning purposes, in an effort to optimize the use of Web-based instructional support resources.
