Product Description

In this report, Cathy Davidson and David Theo Goldberg focus on the
potential for shared and interactive learning made possible by the Internet. They
argue that the single most important characteristic of the Internet is its capacity
for world-wide community and the limitless exchange of ideas. The Internet brings
about a way of learning that is not new or revolutionary but is now the norm for
today's graduating high school and college classes. It is for this reason that
Davidson and Goldberg call on us to examine potential new models of digital learning
and rethink our virtually enabled and enhanced learning institutions.This report is
