jan 1, 1995 - Static web

Description:

By the end of the 1990s, most schools had access to the internet in some form. At this time, resources accessible through the internet were static, rather than providing a way for people to contribute their own content. While static, these webpages provided a platform for people to access information and knowledge from all over the world in a way that previously was not possible. The main forms of online communication were text-based, such as forum postings, online chatting and email. Importantly, they could be hyperlinked, using URLs, which presented a new way of thinking about relations among and between information and sources. This was considered a major advancement in learning in that a limitless range of resources and information could be connected (Dillon & Gabbard, 1998) (Howard & Mozejko, 2015).
