Cronje, Johannes Christoffel alan@gold.up.ac.za Carr, Benjamin Alan Web-based teaching Knowledge Information Web-based learning Learning Teaching Technology-enhanced learning Mathematics skills Logo Underprepared students UCTD Dissertation (DPhil (Information Science))--University of Pretoria, 2004. This document is a report on an experiment in which mathematical skills were taught to first year university students using the Web as a method of instructional delivery. Special attention was paid to the ability of students from disadvantaged backgrounds to cope with this method of delivery. Overall, the results obtained by students using this method were slightly better than that of students on the equivalent paper-based course. However, students from disadvantaged backgrounds fared marginally worse than those on the paper-based course. The results of these students allow extrapolation to a broader context where Web-based teaching of disadvantaged communities may be used. Definitions for knowledge, information, learning and teaching were developed. These definitions were then used as the foundation for creating the Web pages used in the experiment.
