What does current web-based education lack?

Abstract

Current web-based education has its limitations, most of which can be divided into three categories: conceptual, technological, and tool related. This article describes the three categories in detail and discusses possible ways of overcoming them. The underlying idea is that next-generation web-based applications should exhibit more theory- and content-oriented intelligence; pay more attention to interoperability, reusability, and knowledge-sharing issues: and look more closely to general trends in web development.
