We are on the verge of a major sea change in learning. Internet technologies have fundamentally altered the technological and economic landscape so radically that it is now possible to make quantum leaps in the use of technology for learning(Rosenberg, 2001, p. xv)

Educators have long recognized the enormous potential benefits of the Internet as a teaching and learning tool. And yet…“It is now ten years or so into the era of online learning. Schools, colleges and universities have now developed the internet infrastructure of their choice. Almost all have web pages, most have online courses, and many have synchronous online learning. The learning management system (LMS) has become a commodity business, educational software of all sorts abounds, and the phenomenon has spread around the globe.

Even so, it may be observed that most people online of school or college age are elsewhere.” (Downs 2006).

Clearly, new approaches, tools, and strategies are required…a Net Pedagogy.
