An easy screen layout, interactive multimedia learning materials, simplified access and searching of databases, growth of new resources around the world, and open technical standards that allow any brand of modern computer to access the Web makes Web learning more accessible. Students seem to be more visual learners than previous generations because the world is rich in visual stimulation and interaction. The Web is an important factor to many of these initiatives. Flexible Learning - Students can have greater flexibility in accessing their courses by using the Web to learn. This then provides Web based study projects and on-line activities that students can access at their personal convenience.
Students can develop written communication skills readily by using the Web too.
On-line work, in general, provides this kind of awareness. Virtual Classroom Web tools allow live audio and video to be carried over the Internet, enabling the creation of an on-line learning environment that simulates a real classroom. This virtual classroom still allows students the flexibility of taking part in the class from any Internet connection in the world. Although the Web breaks down the physical problems of access to education, it can create new kinds of problems for students. These include computer hardware that malfunctions, difficulty in setting up software to access an educational institution, and encountering constant busy signals when dialling up from home.
