This article discusses the adaptive and intelligent technologies regarding Web-based distance education. They analyzed what kind of technologies are available right now, how easily they can be implemented on the Web, and where is the place of the technologies in Web-based education. I felt this article was interesting because Web-based education (WBE) is currently a hot research and development area. As the author discusses, “Web courseware installed and supported in one place can be used by thousands of learners all over the world that are equipped with any kind of Internet-connected computer. Thousands of Web-based courses and other educational applications have been made available on the Web within the last five years.” The author believes that the biggest problem is that most of the web-based courses are just a network of static hypertext pages. Several companies are creating web based education systems, but they’re not practical or advanced.
