摘要：The study examines the experiences of professors and undergraduate students at Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) in Oman in using the Internet in relation to their courses. The focus is on whether and how such use intersects with the traditional form of student-faculty power/knowledge relations. The findings indicate that the existence of the Internet and even its use by professors and students have not changed the existing structure of student-faculty power/knowledge relations. This is the case because the Internet is perceived as just another, less-valued source of knowledge. Faculty control over knowledge evaluation and selection and student regulation discourages students from going beyond knowledge selected by faculty, at least in relation to coursework. The study concludes that the availability of the Internet alone cannot change existing student-faculty power/knowledge relations in Sultan Qaboos University; a restructuring of the institution -and society -defined processes of student evaluation, teaching methods, and selection of curriculum knowledge is also required
