问题 The current limitations of internet learning are actually those of publishing world: who creates a quality product that offers a coherent analysis of the world we live in? The answer has to lie in a group of people, organized in some way both intellectually and technologically. In the past this has usually been through books and articles. Some of the learning successes of the internet illustrate just how this can work in practice. A classic example is Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia created on a largely voluntary basis by contributors. The underlying mechanism of Wikipedia are technological; you can author an article by following hyperlinks—and the instructions. There are intellectual mechanisms built in, looking at the quality of what is submitted. This does not mean that the articles are equally good, or equal in quality to those encyclopedias created by expert, paid authors. However, there is no doubt that the service is a useful tool, and a fascinating demonstration of the power of distributed volunteer networks. A commercial contrast—which is also free—is the very rigorous Wolfram mathematics site, which has definitions and explanations of many key mathematical concepts. For students who use them with the same academic, critical approach they should apply to any source of information, such resources are useful tools, especially when supplemented by those of national organizations such as the Library of Congress, the National Science Foundation and other internationally recognized bodies. There are, of course, commercially available library services that offer electronic versions of printed media, such as journals, for both professional and academic groups, and there is already a fundamental feature of higher and professional education. Regardless of the medium through which they learn, people have to be critical users of information, but at the same time the information has to be appealing and valuable to the learner.

选项
答案 目前限制网络学习的实际上是出版界：分析我们这个世界的优秀作品是由谁来创作的呢?答案就在一群智力和技术上都有条理的人士身上。过去，这通常只是纸上谈兵，而一些网络学习的成功案例表明，其实这样的设想是能够成为现实的。一个经典的例子便是维基百科，它是一部基于投稿者在自愿原则下创作的在线百科全书。维基百科的内在机制极具技术性：你可以通过追加超链接发表一篇文章或是说明。除此之外，内置有智能机制，以审查提交内容的质量。虽然这并不意味着这些文章与由专家和职业作家创作的百科全书同样优秀，或者具有同等的质量。但毫无疑问，这项服务为人们提供了有用的工具，极好地示范了分散式志愿网络的巨大力量。科技数学计算网站精确严谨，是维基百科的商业对照物。同样，它也免费提供服务，收录了许多重要数学概念的定义及解释。对于那些像对待任何信息资源一样，以学术、批判的方法使用这些资源的学生来说，它们是实用的工具，尤其是一些国际组织，例如美国国会图书馆、美国国家科学基金会和其他国际认可的团体，为它们充当了补充资源。当然，提供纸质媒介电子版本的商业图书馆服务依然存在，例如以专业和学术团体为受众的期刊，已具备了专业高等教育的基本特征。抛开通过媒介学习不谈，人们应该对使用的信息持批判态度，但与此同时，为学习者提供的信息应当能够吸引他们的眼球并且具有价值。
