万　维　网
　　万维网World Wide Web通常缩写为www,有时简称Web。它是一个由许多互相链接的超文本组成的系统,通过互联网访问。万维网的发明者是英国的蒂姆·伯纳斯·李。1991年末,他把欧洲核物理实验室的服务器与成长中的因特网连接起来,从而诞生了万维网。
网 络 课 程
　　网络课程是信息时代下新的课程表现形式,是通过互联网实现校外教学的一种方式。只要具备上网条件即可在任何时间、任何地点接入互联网,自主地选择学习内容。相对于面授教育而言,网络教育最大限度地突破了教育的时空限制,是师生分离、非面对面组织的教学活动,是一种跨学校、跨地区的教育体制和教学模式。网络化教育的迅速发展,在缩小地区之间的教育差别、扩大教育规模、提高教育质量等方面将起到重要的促进作用。
