My comment about 'value added content' did not refer to the material adding value to the WWW but to it gaining in value by the addition of embedded molecules, audio, movie, links to electronically published journal articles etc. They could then be used in a supportive role to formal lectures and not negate the necessity for students to attend lectures. The amount of interest in this form of material would narrow as the subjects became more specialist but the CAL consortiums have started at the 'elementary' levels. Should we follow suit? Targeting this level would increase readership, especially if the material was self contained and did not rely on the formal lectures. Surely this would yield one selling point ie. increased presence. ************************************************************** * Stuart J.
