Jin, Qun; Ma, Jianhua; Huang, Runhe; Shih, Timothy K. – 2001
A Web-based learning community involves much more than putting learning materials into a Web site. It can be seen as a complex virtual organization involved with people, facilities, and cyber-environment. Tremendous work and manpower for maintaining, upgrading, and managing facilities and the cyber-environment are required. There is presented an…
