The Electronic Commerce Course: An Early Vision of Learning in a Networked World

This session combines a tutorial on electronic commerce with another on the use of the Internet and world wide web to support teaching and learning. The session provides an opportunity to introduce participants to the use of ISWorld Net for purposes of teaching. In particular, it will rely on one of the deeper knowledge structures within ISWorld Net, the electronic commerce course page (url = http\u27.//www.cox.smu.edu/isworld/ecourse/isw34111.html), and the ECOMMCOURSE discussion list to provide a learning resource center for faculty throughout the world.
