The amount and range of information available to today's students--and indeed to all learners--is unprecedented. If the characteristics of the information age demand new conceptions of commerce, national security, and publishing--among other things--it is logical to assume that they carry implications for education as well. Little has been written, however, about how the specific affordances of these technologies--and the kinds of information they allow students to access and create--relate to the central purpose of education: learning. What does learning mean in an information-rich environment? What are its characteristics? What kinds of tasks should it involve? What concepts, strategies, attitudes, and skills do educators and students need to master if they are to learn effectively and efficiently in such an environment? How can researchers, theorists, and practitioners foster the well-founded and widespread development of such key elements of the learning process?
