Skip through the first few sections of this essay as they trot out the usual "benefits of web instruction" rhetoric. More interesting is the description of the program involving web-based instruction and local physics labs. Even more interesting is the discussion near the end of the paper about the problem of long term sustainability of projects with uncertain outcomes. "Small-scale experiments based on the partial use of computer-supported, web-based distance learning environments in sub-optimal conditions can create “mini-change” scenarios with substantial transformative power in the key domain of formal education."
