Advantages
Information can be accessed by learners on any computing platform
Provides access to up-to-date information and real-time access to information at other Internet locations (Love and Gosper, 1996)
Can allow consistent access by geographically dispersed audiences
Consistent, templates and navigational tools can be used
Flexibility, multiple media types can be easily implemented to support the learning strategies
Eases instructor needs via self-pace capability yet can support two way interaction through techniques such as chat rooms
Affordability, easy to update and maintain, version controllable
Database engines can drive web sites to both provide and collect data from users
More Info: Linking Web Use with Evaluation Measures
Idea exchange, students can engage in conversations with experts in the field
Supports independent learning or learning in cooperation with peers and without direction instructor intervention
Allows students to use the same types for learning as they will need in today's workplace
(Bates, 1995; Heinich, Molenda, Russell, and Smaldino, 1996; Owston, 1997)
Disadvantages
Bandwidth or network issues can cause user frustration and noise
Access to the network is mandatory, if access is interrupted so is learning (Bates, 1995)
Potential for copyright infringements (Templeton as cited in Love and Gosper, 1995)
Noise via irrelevant or distracting materials that are easily accessed
Potential learning curve, software must be user friendly and support the ability of first-time or novice users (Bates, 1995)
Requires availability of immediate and knowledgeable technical support resources
Computer discussions can drift from intended subject or be dominated by a few participants without the facilitation of an instructor.
