Web-Based Learning and Communication Skills

The document discusses the internet, intranets, and computer-mediated communication. It describes how the internet provides information globally, while an intranet is a limited internal network. Computer-mediated communication refers to interaction between networked computers, such as email and online bulletin boards. The document also addresses how web-based learning can serve as an alternative to traditional classrooms by providing flexible access to course materials and enabling self-paced learning. Factors like the knowledge explosion, changing communication styles, and growing English use contribute to the importance of incorporating web-based components into education.
