Abstract

Webble technology is the most recent form of Meme Media following Richard Dawkins’ seminal ideas about memetics and relying on Yuzuru Tanaka’s interpretation of the Meme concept in the form of IntelligentPad. The reach of Webble technologies is demonstrated by means of a particular Web-based interactive laboratory. It arises the question how this novel technology is perceived and what impact it has on teaching and learning. This paper describes how to apply different learning methods to use the Webble technology for varying learning goals.
