For example, virtual programs target professionals who would otherwise have to leave their jobs to pursue the degree. An enormous proportion of universities are in the process of developing courses in a virtual environment. This book deals with virtual environments for teaching and learning. The chapters can be considered to be representative of the many approaches taken and the diversity of applications. The different perspectives and different solutions adopted are the result of intense research in v 410 0$aSeries on innovative intelligence ;$vv. 1. 517 3 $aVirtual environments for teaching and learning 606 $aDistance education$xComputer-assisted instruction 606 $aInternet in education 615 0$aDistance education$xComputer-assisted instruction. 615 0$aInternet in education. 676 $a371.358 701 $aJain$b L.
