Is the Internet helping to create learning environments?

An environment in which learning is facilitated is multidimensional. On one axis is the content producer/deliverer and on another is a learner. Regardless of the other axes, a learning environment requires a set of interactions between the former and the latter and the flow of information can be in either direction. What do the producers/deliverers need in order to use Internet‐based resources as part of their “bag of tricks” to build a learning environment? What are the expectations, skill sets and experiences of the learners? This note reflects the author’s experiences over a four‐year time span in attempting to answer the question raised in the title.
