(Page Made in1996)
- Distictive features of WWW Class as an "offsite class" are :
- One can access it at any time ("Anytime")
- One can access it in any place ("Anywhere")
- "Anytime"
- This implies the followings :
- Asynchronous.
- Classes are stored in the form of "on-demand".
- "Anywhere"
- Here, "anywhere" means "anywhere an Internet terminal machine is present". Globability of the Internet is utilized at best in this case.
- As to WWW class, it is no use to ask where the teacher or students are. In fact :
- For teacher : Able to teach anywhere an Internet terminal machine is present.
- For student : Able to learn anywhere an Internet terminal machine is present.
In particular, it is possible to continue the class as usual even if a teacher of students change their place to be.
- The Internet is now in the stage where people begin to get there own terminal machines. It is a problem of time that Internet terminals will be as prevalent as telephones are now. And it is the time when the "wherever and whenver" is truly realized in the learning.
