- Shares many drawbacks of CD-ROM - based learning due to non-interactive nature
- Adds performance problems (downloading time)
- Advantage: courseware easier to update and develop
- Very popular approach at many universities in USA as stationary class enhancement
- This is probably the right model
- The trend to call every class syllabus published to the Web “distance learning” is somewhat dangerous
