Research and Learning Environments
The Web
- Decentralized; no one in charge
- Anyone can put up a web page
- Few content restrictions
- What's there is whatever anyone puts there, i.e. not really a
"collection"
- Much is not there (not best answer to all questions)
- Advertising mixed with content
- "Change is a constant"
- STUFF happens (network problems, crashes, unintelligible error messages)
- No centralized help
- Entire responsibility for evaluating information quality is on the
learner
