Issues in teaching various types of information through web-based instruction are explored. The questions of distinctions between content and process courses are evaluated. Some ways in which the resistance to web based learning as a medium of communication can be broken down are covered. Interdisciplinary thinking offers new solutions and hybrid approaches to emerging challenges of educating over the net. Pulling from the seemingly disparate fields of Accounting & Finance, Chemistry, and Rhetoric & Composition new vectors of thinking can be forged. The authors teach online courses in their disciplines. They have drawn on their experiences and the experiences of others to find solutions to problems encountered with distance education. The medium of education over the Internet blurs traditional distinctions of forms and methods of learning.
