    • Traditional college-aged students—ages 18-21—have grown up with the convenience and instant gratification of the Internet. These students are arriving on campus demanding that the tools of distance instruction—videotaped lectures, virtual labs, computer conferencing, virtual advising, and auto-grading exams—be offered as a way of making their educational experience more convenient.

    • —“I’ll catch the web replay on the Net, dude” has become a campus mantra
    • At many campuses, selected sections of courses are taught face-to-face, while other sections of the very same course are being ported online.  A student may, in a single semester, attend one course in a lecture hall while letting the other flicker by on YouTube
