From the supplier: Many educators are using Web-based course materials for supplementary and standalone instruction. Much of the Web's power comes from interactivity, which engages learners and provides mechanisms for quick feedback. Educators increasingly recognize the potential of Internet tools, especially the Web, and provide content ranging from basic course information to discussion groups and online testing. Researchers have recommended using constructivist theory to improve learning in general, and applying such theories to Web learning environments can help determine if they are meeting the needs of learners. A Web-based environment must incorporate evaluation mechanisms that allow timely intervention as needed. Formative rather than summative evaluation is best suited to the situation because it allows quick instructor intervention. HTML forms are a common way of collecting assessment and feedback data. Pages can contain E-mail links, but forms are much more structured. Teachers who leverage feedback can modify courses on an ongoing basis.
