Learners on the back-end: students contributing to web-based information systems

Published:05 April 2003Publication History

ABSTRACT

What happens when students, instead of merely drawing from online information resources, organize and populate such resources? In this paper we discuss how collaboratively creating web-based information resources might contribute to learning. We are currently studying two communities that are creating such resources using a prototype system we've designed.
