Abstract :
We intend to restrict and focus our attention on the use of networks and interconnections to facilitate learning. There are already networks such as K-12 operational in the United States forming educational communities. The network based learning should aim at something beyond the traditional isolated learning with machines such as a package to learn algebra. While careful design of computational, visual and communication technologies for thorough and thoughtful learning is essential, researchers have shown that hardware and software alone are not sufficient. A fundamental problem confronting users of such networks is how to discover the existence of resources of interest, including files, services and especially people
