To sum up the future of the Web as an
educational tool, McDonald (1996 as cited in Fahy 1999, 182) provides us with the
following insights. He claims that the Web will only become a useful educational tool when
it exhibits the following characteristics:
- Ease of use:
the Internet must become as easy to use as a telephone
- Accessibility:
learners and teachers must have access to the Internet as convenient
as the telephone
And solves the following three problems:
- Lack of speed
- Absence of security
- A relatively small number of users
