  abstract =     "Universities make the assumption that providing
                 distance education is a simple process of translating
                 from one medium to the next: the current popular medium
                 being the Internet. However, the danger in this
                 approach is two fold. First, if the components of
                 distance education are ill understood then an
                 inappropriate pedagogy and strategy may result. Second,
                 a lack of understanding of the properties of the
                 Internet as a medium may cause unrealistic and
                 unrealisable expectations. Thus the inappropriate
                 strategy is matched to an unreliable medium expectation
                 and the distance education programme is unlikely to
                 provide the desired educational environment for the
                 student. This paper highlights the need to understand
                 the components of distance education and the properties
                 of the Internet before embarking upon a distance
                 education programme via the Internet: the Virtual
                 University. The paper summarises some of the
                 experiences of the Open University in this field and
                 reports on areas needing further research such as
                 tutoring (problem-solving sessions) and electronic
                 learning/teaching materials (development).",
