A paradigm shift! The Internet, the Web, browsers, Java and the future of computer science education

Abstract

this paper, however, we limit ourselves to the discussion of some of the implications of the Web paradigm on computing education. We should clearly state that our aim is not to discuss future computer science curricula. Instead, our focus is on the teaching and learning environment that will result from the Web paradigm and---by implication--- the profound influence it will have on any new curriculum models. In the Web paradigm, instructors will tend away from a traditional lecture style towards the role of a facilitator, and students will become more active in exploratory learning
