I for one would second the suggestion made by Megan McLaughlin of having a
round table on "Medieval Religion in Cyberspace." One example of the
potential that computer technology has for teaching: This past semester
Emory university offered a graduate course entitled "Late Antiquity in
Real Time." It was taught by an Emory professor with the assistance of two
of his colleagues from the University of Augsburg. Each week 1 hour was
spent live on the WWW (with both audio and visual feed) with students
from both universities participating in the discussion. Not only was this
a great way to link academic communities, but it had the effect of adding
methodological variety to the historical issues being discussed. 
This is just an example of one of many different issues that could be
tabled at such a round table.
