Learning “from” or “through” the Web: models of Web based education

Much of our human learning involves some form of face to face communication between those that learn and those that teach. The World Wide Web has become a medium of education in recent times and a number of models of learning have been used in teaching via the Web. It is argued that any models so used need to include a significant element of human interaction, otherwise such models will be less than satisfactory for a significant proportion of the learning population.
