• Teaching and learning should be enjoyable, engaging, and efficient experiences.
• Teaching and learning should be interactive.
• Learners needs to have immediate access to remedial and background material.
• Teaching requires management activities (from attendance to tracking individual performance) that can be supported by information technology.
• The Web allows access to more information but brings the attendant need for teaching different and better critical skills.
• The use of technology in teaching requires greater attention to instructional design.
• We need to remove the discontinuities between learning and doing.
• We need to remove the discontinuities between material presented in different classes.
