Summary

Computer and communication technologies are having a significant impact upon the way in which educational infrastructures are designed and used to support teaching and learning processes.

This chapter outlines some of the developments that have taken place in authoring tool technology and illustrates their use for the creation of online course delivery and course management systems based on the use of Intranets and the World Wide Web.
