Towards a novel networked learning environment

Education can benefit from the use of technology in the teaching process. This has been done in the past using various technologies. In recent years, computers, information systems, multimedia and hypertext systems have been used to develop self-learning environments (CAI, CAL, CBT systems). A drawback of these environments is the lack of interaction to the desired degree. With the use of new technologies like computer networks and networked hypermedia systems, new networked learning environments can be built that alleviate this problem. One such novel Networked Learning Environment is presented in this paper. Its most valuable components are the World Wide Web, the HYPER-G system and the Internet.
