"A range of investigative, problem-solving articles pertaining to current developments in educational systems, this collection draws from faculty experiences gained while implementing and utilizing a combination of telecommunications and web-enabled technologies. Addressing trends and issues, and exploring the opportunities and problems confronting colleges and universities related to this relatively new practice, the articles present numerous academic perspectives and provide concepts for effectively utilizing and managing web-based education in a teaching environment. Proving recognizable competition to traditional university education, many public and private colleges and universities are facing the challenges and opportunities offered by this new technology-based concept. Discussing the successes and failures of the early adopters and including issues relating to peer-to-peer networks, e-course management, and MIS needs, this book attempts to move from questions concerning ""what"" to issues relating to ""how."""
