  abstract =     "The purpose of the talk (and this paper) is to explore
                 the advantages and disadvantages of providing courses,
                 programs and degrees using On-Line Learning (OLL). It
                 is the author's thesis that, yes, OLL does provide new
                 opportunities for the delivery of education. However,
                 we need to be very careful as to how we use this medium
                 in order not to ``reshape'' courses which are more
                 effectively taught in other (possibly more traditional)
                 ways nor to embrace this mode of delivery simply for
                 perceived economic gains. The rush of higher education
                 institutions to place courses and programs on the
                 Internet for distance education students raises some
                 very interesting questions concerning their quality and
                 value. The initial development of courses for online
                 learning has been based on text based delivery --- for
                 the most part using traditional lecture notes. The
                 rapid sophistication brought about by html programming,
                 advanced browsers, and template authorware on the one
                 hand, and more sophisticated and powerful hardware and
                 multimedia devices on the other, have permitted great
                 strides in resource integration. Yet, for all of these
                 technological advances, a number of problems still
                 exist. The rest of this paper will explore some of
                 these problems and offer some suggestions for solving
                 them..",
