As schools in the 21st century come to grips with the implications
of this convergence of teaching and learning paradigms, new opportunities
emerge that will enable them to re-examine the ways in which they provide
educational programmes for their students. Through the planned and strategic
use of information and communication technologies, schools, teachers,
and students can begin to experience being part of a wider learning community,
one where access to learning opportunities is not limited by the geographic
availability of a teacher or resources. These Learning Communities Online
are set to change many of the ways we currently think about schools and
learning.
