So? What's new about that?


And getting feedback from students in the traditional classroom setting wasn't difficult? Some teachers new to internet frameworks complain that they miss the eye-contact that they had with their face-to-face classes, but that's probably an idealization far from any real grounding in fact. Normally if students are looking anywhere in the direction of the teacher it's because there's an open window behind him or her.

Tools of this sort exist in order to permit a teacher, with a minimum degree of technical know-how, to transfer his or her learning materials to the web. That in itself is a valid objective, though it demands that we be able to distinguish between materials that support an on-going, non-internet based classroom course, and a fully on-the-web classroom. They're not the same, though from looking at numerous attempts at courses of this sort, it's hard to tell whether the teachers are aware of the difference.
