WORLD WIDE WEB LEARNING SUPPORT – W3LS

Introduction 

The W3LS project aims to stimulate research on the use of WWW learning environments, focussing on the collection and analysis of evaluation results from use in the practise of higher education. 

This project was initiated by PODIUM [PODIUM, 1998], and is made possible by a grant from SURF, and by the efforts of the universities of Twente (primary contact), Delft and Maastricht. 

Target group

The results of this project are intended to act as resources for instructors, WWW developers, and policy makers who are involved in the implementation and the use of WWW learning environments in higher education. 

Deliverables that they can use are:

• Evaluation framework
• Example questionnaires (in Dutch)
• Case-studies (September 1999)
• This website with resources and links 

Definition of a WWW learning environment

WWW learning environments connect instructors, students and leearning resources by means of the World Wide Web.

Follow up

In September 1999 three case-study summaries will be made available through this website. These case-studies have been performed to test the evaluation framework. In 2000-2001 we hope to collect more case-studies primarily from higher educational practise in the Netherlands
