摘要

The Internet, and specifically the World Wide Web (WWW), has an important role as a method of learning in occupational and environmental health and medicine. This paper provides a systematic overview of the demands and merits of this approach to learning in a range of higher education courses in these disciplines. Drawing on a relevant theoretical framework for understanding how students learn, it describes the design and evaluation of specific resources developed for students to learn using the WWW.
