Technology is expensive, and web-based learning is no exception.
Technology expenditures do not end with the wiring of a school or campus, the purchase of computers, or the establishment of a local area network. They represent just the beginning. In some ways, school Internet capital expenses are equivalent to the expenditures a district makes in purchasing a fleet of school buses. After the initial cost of the purchase, the school buses require fuel, maintenance, trained drivers, parking lots to house them, insurance, and upgrades to keep the fleet current. It is the same with technology.
