Description provided by Clare Walsh:

"The Web in education is about seeing online tools in a wider context of learners' educational experiences, and as a part of a rich and varied curriculum that integrates on- and off-line practices. In particular, the study of online tools in education needs to take a realistic approach to dealing with technologies for learning in a context where you have 30+ students you cannot ignore or leave idle while you fix things etc."

Why is this area interesting and relevant to Web Science?

"E-learning goes directly to the learner, but much education still occurs in formally mandated contexts, and is still mediated by teachers, institutions and government expectations. We need to understand the impact of the web in multiple learning contexts and hold online learning interventions accountable to the same standards other educational interventions are expected to meet."
