During the period 1990-95, I have been involved in research related to some aspects of the growing influence of computer networks. The primary focus of this research was related to the assessment of the effect that computer networks will have on pedagogy. The core of the research has been done in cooperation with Anthony Mitchell. Later on, George Duckett has joined us. This research led also to the investigation of computer literacy. This research has been suspended since Tony has left academia and George has concentrated his research on his Dissertation. The results of our studies have been published as the following papers (texts of papers should be treated as "technical reports" as they may slightly differ from the published version - which, in most cases, is the version copyrighted by the publisher and that version should be used in case of quotations):
