Distance-Educator.com carried this new inclusion to ERIC, though it might have been more appropriate to link to the CRLForiginal version from 1991. As it stands, this is a good paper that could have, with some judicious editing, become a very good paper, but the addition of five additional authors in the ERIC version seems if anything to have weakened, rather than improved, the writing (and it is certainly odd to see the now 6-person collective speaking in the first person singular). The reference, in particular, attributed almost at random: why would the authors not cite anyone (David Noble comes to mind) regarding controversial statements about the commodification of education, yet credit the deep insight that the web "gives information access to users who are physically remote from resources" to Ryder (1995)? Odd.
