Web-Teaching: A Guide to Designing Interactive Teaching for the World Wide Web

Beginning with a brief history of the Internet, this book delves into a review of current research, active learning strategies, Web courseware, metacognition, strategies for Web discussions, promoting student self-regulation, building interactive Web pages, basic HTML coding, managing Web sites, using databases, automated testing, and security and legal issues.
Experience shows that Web teaching may be used in an extremely wide range of subject areas. Modern course management software has demystified the use of the Web for teaching, allowing instructors to focus on instructional design and improving student experiences instead of only the technical skills of building Web sites. Web-Teaching helps readers pick and choose what aspects of the Web to employ to achieve the greatest student learning gains.

`Web - Teaching is a very common title for a very uncommon book. Written from the perspective of a college teacher, the volume provides how-to instructions for the use of the World Wide Web in teaching, as well as a soul-searching discussion of the appropriateness and effectiveness of different instructional approaches.'

`From a simultaneous review of Internet Links for Science Education and Web Teaching: `One cannot finish this book without understanding why science is best learned through an interactive inquiry-based approach....These two books provide a breath of fresh air and clarity....Both books construct the pedagogical groundwork required to successfully integrate the Internet and the Web into the new paradigm in science education.'
