Learning and Teaching on the Internet: Contributing to Educational Reform
[We should] follow the “low threshold, open growth” principle when designing network services, applications, and projects. For the foreseeable future and maybe forever, different people will have access to different levels and kinds of functionality in their personal computers, local networks, servers, storage, software, bandwidth to the wide area networks, and so forth. We should design internetworked services, applications, projects, and virtual communities in such a way that people can join in at some very low threshold.
