ABSTRACT
The use of the Internet for teaching and learning purposes has received a lot of attention over recent years. With the popularity and growth of the World Wide Web (WWW) for delivering courseware, many Multimedia Self-Learning resources have begun to appear. This paper reports the work-in-progress of the design and implementation of a Self-Learning and Chinese-Interface Homepage on ˇ§Elementary Number Theoryˇ¨ in the Hong Kong Institute of Education. It aims at providing the first experience for the pre-service teachers in our Two Year Full-time Certificate of Education (Primary) Program to the understanding of basic number theory through self- learning on the Internet. The topics chosen include:
