    Abstract
    Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to review recent developments in educational informatics relating to the provision by information systems of pedagogical support to web-based learners, and to propose further investigation of the feasibility and potential value of web-based "conversational" information systems to complement adaptive hypermedia and information retrieval systems. Design/methodology/approach - The potential of Pask's conversation theory is considered as a potentially useful framework for the development of information systems capable of providing pedagogical support for web-based learners, complementary to that provided by existing computer-assisted learning and adaptive hypermedia systems. The potential role and application of entailment meshes are reviewed in relation to other forms of knowledge representation including classifications, semantic networks, ontologies and representations based on knowledge space theory. Findings - Concludes that conversation theory could be a useful framework to support the development of web-based "conversational" information that would complement aspects of computer-assisted learning, adaptive hypermedia and information retrieval systems. The entailment mesh knowledge representation associated with conversation theory provides the potential for providing particularly rich pedagogical support by virtue of its properties of cyclicity, consistency and connectivity, designed to support deep and enduring levels of understanding. Research limitations/implications - Although based on a considerable body of theoretical and empirical work relating to conversation theory, the paper remains speculative in that the gap is still great between, on the one hand, what has so far been achieved and, on the other, the practical realisation of its potential to enhance web-based learning. Much work remains to be done in terms of exploring the extent to which procedures developed and benefits found in relatively small-scale experimental contexts can effectively be scaled to yield enhanced support for "real world" learning-related information behaviour. Originality/value - The ideas of Pask, discussed in this paper, are capable of guiding the structuring of information according to parameters designed to facilitate deep and enduring understanding via interactive "conversational" engagement between the conceptual structures of information source authors and learners. If one can scale Pask's work to "real world" learning-related information behaviour, one can increase the range of web-based information systems and services capable of providing pedagogical support to web-based learners.

    Abstract
    The focus of the present research has been the development and the application to Virtual Archaeology of a Web-Based framework for Learning Objects indexing and retrieval. The paper presents the main outcomes of a experimentation carried out by an interdisciplinary group of Federico II University of Naples. Our equipe is composed by researchers both in ICT and in Humanities disciplines, in particular in the domain of Virtual Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Informatics in order to develop specific ICT methodological approaches to Virtual Archaeology. The methodological background is the progressive diffusion of Web 2.0 technologies and the attempt to analyze their impact and perspectives in the Cultural Heritage field. In particular, we approached the specific requirements of the so called Learning 2.0, and the possibility to improve the automation of modular courseware generation in Virtual Archaeology Didactics. The developed framework was called SEMANTICA, and it was applied to Virtual Archaeology Domain Ontologies in order to generate a didactic course in a semi-automated way. The main results of this test and the first students feedback on the course fruition will be presented and discussed..

    Abstract
    Describes the efforts of Knight-Ridder Information (KRI) and Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) to provide Web based training systems. The KRI tutorial covers the DIALOG Web service, describes the technology, the tutorial and evaluates its usefulness. D&B's web based training trains users on its online system. It is more advanced than the KRI tutorial. Describes its training modules, and its testing of methods and technologies. The University of Texas as Austin has developed 2 tutorials on searching for patents and trademarks

    Abstract
    Efficient knowledge management is essential within the information society. Life long learning as well as the use of new media have lead to e-Learning of different kinds. In order to combine existing resources, a general description of this topic is needed. The semantic web aims at making these meta data machine understandable. In this paper we present our Ontology Framework for e-Learning. After the introduction we review existing approaches and describe our general view of the concepts. In chapter 4 and 5 we present different views of our framework aimed at the intended application areas as material or user centred approaches and end up with the conclusions.

    Abstract
    The Internet can be a valuable tool allowing distance learners to access information not available locally. Search engines are the most common means of locating relevant information an the Internet, but to use them efficiently students should be taught the basics of searching and how to evaluate the results. This article briefly reviews how Search engines work, studies comparing Search engines, and criteria useful in evaluating the quality of returned Web pages. Research indicates there are statistical differences in the precision of Search engines, with AltaVista ranking high in several studies. When evaluating the quality of Web pages, standard criteria used in evaluating print resources is appropriate, as well as additional criteria which relate to the Web site itself. Giving distance learners training in how to use Search engines and how to evaluate the results will allow them to access relevant information efficiently while ensuring that it is of adequate quality.

    Focuses upon the needs of teachers for training and support for the development of Web-based courses. Using 6 Web-based courses as the focus of the project, the development of the courses is documented from a teacher / developer's point of view. The outcomes of the project will assist in the planning and development of future Web-based courses by the New England Institute of TAFE, Australia

    Abstract
    In dem Artikel werden Voraussetzungen und methodische Konzepte für die Entwicklung von Online-Tutorials sowie deren praktische Umsetzung beschrieben. Die inhaltliche Basis bilden die Lehrbücher "Information Retrieval" und "Wirtschaftsinformation". Schwerpunkte sind die Auswahl der zur Anwendung kommenden Lehrmethoden, die methodisch-didaktische Aufbereitung der Lehrinhalte sowie die entsprechende gestalterische Realisierung.Die Tutoriallösungen werden an ausgewählten Beispielen demonstriert. Anhand der Beispiele wird verdeutlicht, dass Online-Tutorials als neues Lehrund Lernmedium zum einen den Lehrenden gestatten, Inhalte in erweiterter Form anzubieten und zum anderen den Lernenden umfangreiche Möglichkeiten der Aufnahme und Verarbeitung des Lehrstoffes bieten.

    Abstract
    A major difficulty of query writing for databases is that users do not fully understand queries. Proposes a system providing feedback to enable users to better understand their queries. It is a multi-functional rule-based system. In addition to providing an English translation for the query, it pin-points syntax errors, and suggests possible solutions. Finds likely semantic errors, and provides possible solutions. The system was implemented for a query language based on the entity relationship model. It is expected to lead to better user performance. Empirical testing showed significant improvement in user performance with the feedback system. The system can be used for computer-aided training and in actual operation
