M. %X Whatever will happen in the way of the confluence of pedagogy and technology, it will not so much perpetuate past models in more efficient ways as it will reflect a stronger element of (for example) the unanticipated success of Napster. The author suggests a fivefold interpretation of Napster's implications as a guideline of what cybermedia do well, and how theological educators can use cybermedia to enrich their classroom teaching by distinguishing online from in-class education. Cybermedia serve best when they do not duplicate or usurp functions best accomplished in person, and personal interaction thrives when not burdened with information-transmission that might as well take place online. %B Teaching Theology and Religion %V 5 %G eng %U http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1467-9647.00113/abstract %N 1 %& 10 %R 10.1111/1467-9647.00113
