Improving Student Achievement by Infusing a Web-Based
Curriculum into Global History
Robert A. Scheidet
Stony Brook University
Abstract
Educators continue to look for instructional
practices that will contextualize learning, motivate students,
individualize instruction,
and increase the number of students attaining mastery levels of
achievement. Simultaneously, Internet use has arrived in today’s
classrooms, which has moved the learning environment beyond the
drill and practice use of computers. The creation of a Web-based
curriculum has the potential to enable students to have access to
the global network of multimedia information while being engaged in
self-directed learning activities.
