Challenges of creating web-based activities in Sally Morrison "Interactive language Learning on the Web".

The major obstacles and difficulties that Sally Morrison first stated that the teachers do not have the technical skill and knowledge to create web-based language learning activities. Second, teachers do not have any time to devote to gaining these new skills. Third, it's difficult to create online activities that involve the variability of students' access to computes because the computers, browsers differ and speed of their internet connection are different. Last, web pages should support students with special needs and making sure they aren't left out.

To me, the major obstacles and difficulties will be the lack of internet connection in Saudi Arabia classrooms. Second, not all schools allow students to use computers or even bring their own.Third, the currents context doesn't allow a lot of web-based activities because it wants the teachers to stick to the syllabus. Forth, most of the current teachers don't like to learn new technical skills, they like to stay in the past. And last, learners might be resistant at first but they will get used to it.
