Faculty will always be needed.
Faculty are the content experts and as researchers, they are constantly creating new knowledge.
However, the role of the faculty will change. By necessity there is less lecturing and more mentoring in an Internet course. In all models of learning, faculty are in charge of the content. The rewards of teaching a web course are great, although the experience of redesigning your present course can be challenging. The faculty determines the appropriate methods for assessing student learning based upon the course objectives.
