Learning how to learn with web contents

ABSTRACT

Learning Web contents requires learners not only to navigate the Web pages to construct their own knowledge from the contents learned at and between the pages, but also to control their own navigation and knowledge construction processes. However, it is not so easy to control the learning processes. The main issue addressed is how to help learners learn how to learn with Web contents. This paper discusses how to design a meta-learning tool.
