The Internet and Higher Education > 1998 > 1 > 1 > 7-20

The increasing infusion of information technologies is challenging the academic core of higher education.

Information Dissemination as Reflected in U.S. Government Information Policy and Practice

The Internet and Higher Education > 1998 > 1 > 1 > 59-81

This article places information dissemination by the U.S. government within the context of policy initiatives related to ''managing for results,'' accountability, and customer-driven services.

The full implications of that linkage remain unexplored and offer challenges to executive branch...

Computers in Schools: Moving Education Out of the Child into the Machine

The Internet and Higher Education > 1998 > 1 > 2 > 147-155

This paper examines one possible side effect of using computer technology for learning. It is argued that the pattern of externalizing skills that is part of the character of computers results in an atrophying of many of the most essential...

Distance Education Comes to the Academy: But are We Asking the Right Questions?

The Internet and Higher Education > 1998 > 1 > 2 > 125-130

''Distance education'' has become the latest fad within The Academy - attracting the attention of a wide range of colleges and universities seeking new markets during a time of financial exigency and rapid technological change.

Why is the Moon Getting Further Away - Helping the Child Connect to the World

The Internet and Higher Education > 1998 > 1 > 2 > 139-146

Technologies that collapse distances and help us to make connections do not necessarily bring us close to each other and to the world. They may, in fact, insert greater distances between us and the world. The central educational requirement is for the student to discover an inner connection to the subject matter, but a great deal in our society militates against this. What we need most critically...

Education on the Internet: Anonymity vs. Commitment

The Internet and Higher Education > 1998 > 1 > 2 > 113-124

Many claim that the Internet will produce a new superior form of education open to anyone anywhere. In 1850 Soren Kierkegaard condemned the Press for contributing to the nihilism of his age by cultivating risk-free anonymity and idle curiosity thereby leveling all meaningful differences. He would surely have denounced the Internet for the same reasons. Kierkegaard would have seen that World Wide...
