Globalization and concurrent development in computer and communication technology has increased interest in collaborative online teaching and learning for students in higher education institutions. Many institutions and teachers have introduced computer-supported programmes in areas including dental hygiene. The potential for the use of this technology is exciting; however, its introduction should be careful and considered. We suggest that educators wanting to introduce computer-supported programmes make explicit their pedagogical principles and then select technologies that support and exploit these principles. This paper describes this process as it was applied to the development of an international web-based collaborative learning programme for dental hygiene students.
全球化以及计算机与通信技术的同步发展，使得高等教育机构的学生对在线协作教学和学习的兴趣日益浓厚。许多机构和教师已在包括口腔卫生等领域引入了计算机支持的课程。使用这项技术的潜力令人兴奋；然而，其引入应谨慎且经过深思熟虑。我们建议，想要引入计算机支持课程的教育工作者应明确其教学原则，然后选择支持并运用这些原则的技术。本文描述了将这一过程应用于为口腔卫生专业学生开发的基于网络的国际协作学习课程的情况。
