12. As Paul Rodes, Dennis Knapczyk, Carrie Chapman and Chung Haejin have realised, "it should not be surprising ... that many of the most successful Web-based courses are in computer science and other technically advanced fields where students are already comfortable and familiar with computer technology." Therefore, the form and content relationship is even more significant when discussing internet-based education. See "Involving teachers in Web-based professional development," T.H.E. (Technological Horizons in Education) Journal, volume 27, number 10 (May), at http://www.thejournal.com/magazine/vault/A2868.cfm.
13. This is an arduous task, and before Macromedia's Dreamweaver, very time consuming. Yet the hypertext capacity (and strength) of the Web means that maintenance becomes an unending process. Between one semester and the next, generally one third of the URL links no longer function.

19. Michelle Vachris has argued that we need to discuss and analysis the high level of online withdrawal rates. Of all the articles, books and sites I discovered on this topic, she was the only scholar to suggest that there is an issue to address here.

A similar problem regarding student numbers was revealed by Geoff Rehn in "The Western Australian Networks for Learning Trial," http://wwwtlc1.murdoch.edu.au/gen/aset/confs/edtech92/rehn1.html, accessed 19 September 2000. Rehn reported that after assembling a two-way video set up at Kununurra, no students enrolled in the course.
