  • Neither has a belief in superior pedagogical opportunities played much of a role in the decision of traditional institutions to push their curriculums on to the Web.
  • potential obstacles to the widespread adoption of such systems -- most revolving around faculty skepticism
  • perennial fear that instructors could lose their jobs to interloping automatons.
