Abstract
The Internet has been welcomed by educators as a great tool for use in the classroom or to create virtual classrooms. It can be used to connect students in disparate countries as well as an increase in student comfort with technology. This paper highlights some of the unplanned and unanticipated consequences that might be encountered as the use of the Internet in education increases. These consequences are discussed as potential problems, categorised as problems of judgement, distance, and ethics. Implications for educators and administrators are addressed by suggesting course design, pedagogical, and student activity solutions.
