They emphasise that in humanities, interaction is important. Education is not a transfer of knowledge to the students. In some cultures there are gestures, which are an important aspect of the communication, and hypermedia can not replace them. Also, in humanities, there are other problems such as the transfer of credits for courses on the Web. The speaker presents a list of advantages and disadvantages concerning the Internet as a basic tool in the classroom.
Internet does however affect the social behaviour and the nature of the interrelationships.
For professors, using the Internet implies new skills and new responsibilities. She concludes that the Internet should not be considered as a substitute for the tools of traditional education but as a complementary tool. With Internet aspects of education have to be changed. The role of the teacher changes from an information provider to an information guide.
