Usage of Internet Technologies in Teaching and
Learning
Based on Khannanov (2003: 18) the successful
activities: achievements defided in Information retrieval, ndividualized
learning and teaching, Group learning and teaching via the Internet and
ollaborative activities
a. Information retrieval
One of the most important advantages of the
Internet in the area of information inquiry is the increased accessibility of
reference materials and data for all categories of users. the Internet is a
truly open technology, allowing users with any hardware and software to derive
the necessary information from the network, independentl from the location of
data and knowledge bases. Thus, within the framework of national educational
systems, inequality in distribution of information bases concentrated in big
centres usually, is overcome.
b. Individualized learning
and teaching
With the network-oriented character of the
Internet, giving some researchers the reason to consider it a
mass-communication medium, we should not underestimate the prevalence and
importance of the “person-to-person” type of communication on the Net. For a
long time electronic mail has remained the only Internet application in
education.
c. Group learning and
teaching via the Internet
An online lecture or presentation of teaching
material published on the Net fully or partially (as a summary), becomes
accessible to many learners. Therefore, the method of using
Internet-applications in education (including potential multimedia of WWW), and
computer and telecommunication technologies in many respects depends upon the
shift of the education process attention toward a student
d. Collaborative activities
The advantages provided by the Internet in organization
of cooperation are predestined by the very nature of the Network. As it is
known, the World Wide Web (WWW) was formed as an environment specifically
designed for collaborative work on the documents by collectives of researchers
territorially remote from each other. The further development of Internet
technologies has given an opportunity for joint use and editing of textual
materials, schedules, audio and video-sequences
