Includes bibliographical references (leaves 115-124). / Many studies have shown that, despite, the initial hype about how the world wide web would change learning, young people and, especially, students are not necessarily inclined to use the web for learning, simply because it is available. In this dissertation, I investigate third-year multimedia students' use of the web to supplement and enhance formal course work and skills. The study investigates the use of the web for academic self-study that is not linked to direct assessment such as assignments. The dissertation is based on the premise that even where students choose technology as a career and have relatively good access to it, they do not necessarily make high use of it for learning.
