In the ever-advancing world of educational technology, the Open Universitys Knowledge Media Institute is state of the art, leading the pack in producing learning resources for the World Wide Web. This book, edited by the two founders of KMI, discusses the educational possibilities of the new technologies and brings together examples of cutting edge projects from the institute. Each of the fourteen contributions -- written by such experts as Sir John Daniel -- is linked with a site on the Web that allows readers to engage in some on-line experimentation of their own. This is a book that no forward-thinking teacher or trainer will want to be without. (From the Publisher)
