INTRODUCTION
“As the digitisation of society unfolds, today’s world has become a wired one, encapsulated by
the World Wide Web” - (UNESCO, 2002)
“We view an internet as an extension of human powers of understanding”
-Marshall McLuhan
To memorise is less important than to master the skill of searching the web.
Students need the ability to respond and adapt themselves to these changes. Students need to actively
interpret and organise the information that is available, fitting it into prior knowledge or revising
prior knowledge in the light of what they have learned. A decade ago, the use of computers in the
language classroom was a concern of only a small number of specialists. But now, with the advent of
multimedia computing and the internet, and the role of computers in language teaching has become
an important issue confronted by a large number of language teachers throughout the world.
Technology is useful not just in language leaning but in the study in the literature, culture and film
also. Ten years ago it would have been difficult to connect technology and culture or technology and
literature or to find a synergy between those fields. Now, technology is the medium that binds
together these disciplines.
CONTENT
Web is an enormous collection of knowledge in the form of words, images, video
and programmes. These are efficiently organised in the Internet. Internet is the abbreviation of Inter-
network system and is described as network of computer system. In a general sense, the Internet is
defined as “a global pool of information and services, accessibly by means of locally executed
interface software”. It is a huge network of computers, which links many different types of
computers, which share a common mechanism for addressing computers and a set of communication
protocols for communication between two computers on the network.
The World Wide Web contains millions of sources lead us to information of infinite variety, stored
in computer networks across the world WWW contains lacks of books from famous libraries across
the world .There is a large number of sources to get information for academic studies and research in
Web. The Web refers to a specific kind of internet interface. The Web documents contains link that
lead to other web pages and they contain graphics, sound and so on which open up new possibilities
for presenting information .The Web was invented in early 1990s by Tim-Bernese-lee
The concept of a web resource is a primitive in the web architecture and is used in the
definition of its fundamental elements. It is graphical, easy to use system on the computer that offers
a vast amount of information. It consists of a huge collection of documents web pages that are stored
on computers around the world .Web pages provide a vast amount of information and can include
graphics, sounds and even movies. The collection of pages that gives information about an
organisation or an individual is called website. It is the most popular and promising method of
accessing the internet. The main reason for its popularity is the use of a concept called Hypertext
Hypertext
It is the text displayed on a computer or other electronic devices with references
(hyperlinks) to the other text that the reader can immediately access by a mouse click. Apart from
running text, hypertext may contain table, images and other presentational devices. Hypertext is the
underlying concept defining the structure of the World Wide Web, making it an easy to use and
flexible format to share information over the internet. And a hyperlink is a graphic text is an internet
document that can connect readers to another web page, or another portion of a document. Web users
will usually find at least one hyperlink on every page. The simplest form of these is called embedded
text or embedded link.
Hypertext documents on the Internet are called web pages. Web pages are created by
using a special language called Hyper Text Mark-up Language (HTML).It is a sub set of the more
generalised language called Standard Generalized Mark -up language (SGML) which is a powerful
language for linking documents for easier electronic access.
Hypertext Poetry
Hypertext poetry is a poetry that has had hyperlinks embedded into it by the reader.
Internet learners select a poem and then they add hyperlinks to that to help explain their
interpretation of the poem. The hyperlink can link to pictures, words, other poems, and any allusion
the line of words in the poem brings to the reader’s mind.
The use of new digital media for reading ,writing and representing poetry encourages
an exploration of the relationship between text and image and how and sound might be used to
mediate meaning -making Literature or poetry for that subject matter be lifted from the printed page
and explored in multi-modal ways like pictures, paintings audio clips etc. New media have an
immersive and per formative potentials, that encourages the students to get into a poem and play with
it. Giving students opportunities to create poems or respond to and annotate existing poems using
new media, enables them to use technology in meaningful ways. In a sense all use of web resources is
educative and it involves access to information and contains huge quantities of data on numerous
topics.
1. It has information and contains most of the advanced research topics is highly technical or
scientific areas besides information on very pretty topics.
2. It provides wider access to good quality education at low cost.
3. It provides information and education to the wider population located in every nook and corner of
the globe.
4. The learning process through these resources is interesting and interactive
Virtual classroom
Virtual class room is web based environment that allows participating in live
training events without need to travel. students can listen to lectures, participate in lab exercises, ask
questions and receive feedback just as he/she do in conventional classrooms .It saves the expenses
and travel time to a training site. These are the classrooms functioning in a system of virtual reality.
These are cyber classrooms, where the teacher and the students can converse in real time. In every
sense, a virtual classroom tries to stimulate, in every way it can, the learning platform provided by a
conventional classroom. These classrooms are capable of replacing partially or totally the
conventional educational, evaluative and administrative functioning of a regular classroom by
adopting the advanced computer and ICT technologies like the Internet, e-mail, online chatting,
www, CD ROMs, DVDs, teleconferencing and video conferencing.
NEED
The need of Web resources is that it makes interactive, authentic, meaning learning
opportunities possible. Learners can observe, explore, recreate and receive immediate feedback about
real objects, phenomena, and process that would otherwise be too complex, time consuming or
dangerous. Teachers can focus students’ attention on learning objectives when real-world
environments are simplified, causality of events is clearly explained and unnecessary cognitive tasks
are reduced through these sources. There are a number of appropriate options available to the
students for interacting with their teachers and with their colleagues with the help of these resources
WAYS OF USING
While going through a descriptive poem or a short story, the leaner has to
visualise the scene with all its colourful details. This can be made much easier and enjoyable if the
teacher can provide the leaner, an opportunity for exploring the ‘web’ and find similar still pictures of
the same, like copies of the world famous paintings and photographs. To enable the leaner to
visualise the scene, the teacher can ask the leaners to search for famous paintings which picturise
similar scenes with all their idyllic charm and beauty.
The teacher can help the leaner by suggesting that they can utilise web resources
for the purpose. The extensive use of computer technology in widening the scope and range of the
leaners understanding of literature. There are different sites, where one can get the video, audio and
presentation files of different kinds of literature. If we would like to download the audio version of
the poem, it may get from websites like www.libirvox.org or www.thoughtaudio.com. Some sites like
www.youtube.com for the visualisation of the audio.
Sometimes we may not find the appropriate file in the net. Under such
circumstances, we can seek the help of a worldwide community by posting a request for extending
the possible help in the above said sites or to the larger teacher communities across the world like
www.britishcouncil.com and also can even post a request in sites like www.libirvox.org for the audio
versions of poems or stories. We can link the downloaded audio or video files to the text stored in
your computer or to internet in a connect-classroom. ‘Hypertext’, ‘Hyperlink’, and the ‘Hypertext
poetry’ can be used for such purposes
CONCLUSION
Technology can indeed add enormous value to human endeavours. Web related
tools are intrinsically appropriate for language leaning. They provide the user, a high degree of
immersion and the potential for varied interaction. The convergence of full-motion video, sound, still
images, text, graphics and animation reconstructs the leaner, the multi-dimensional nature of
language-its visual, nonverbal and cultural as well as linguistic dimensions.
