In order to discuss what the World Wide Web can do, we must evaluate what needs to be done. The first item, the classroom session, will probably never be eliminated entirely. However, more course content will be available through alternative means. The World Wide Web is a protocol over the Internet by which multimedia information can be disseminated from site to site. The existence of these interfaces to the Internet have triggered a massive effort to place information on the World Wide Web, driven partially by the cost effective and efficient way that it can be delivered.
Teaching assistants help the teaching process both inside and outside the classroom.
Computers also assist with instruction, and can act as a supplement to the assistants. While considerable time must be spent in linking together requisite documents, once the web is constructed, it will be simple to augment and adjust these documents for the next class. It is also conceivable that a group of instructors who teach similar courses at different universities, could put together a master document , which could be used as is , or modified to address local or personal differences in teaching style, methods, and available equipment.
