Virtual Professors"


                        Abstract


It's clear that the technologies that are changing business can be applied
to tertiary teaching as well.  But in order to apply the tools effectively,
there's a need for wholesale change in the philosophies underlying
university education.

This presentation examines aspects of the rapidly emerging virtual
university.  It looks at the techniques of virtual professorship, and
suggests elements of a theory of e-Education.
