Lecturers, professors, instructors (call them what you will) are by and large conservative and timid beast and anything that smacks of a loss of ‘control’ will be railed against 2. Administrators in HE institutions far from seeing ICT and the web as enabling and empowering actually see the technology as a means of controlling and capturing. 3. The majority of students have had a life time of being told what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. This brave new world articulated as ‘lifelong learning’ is not a particularly appealing place for many as it means we have to take responsibility for ourselves!:^) So where does this leave me, well all I can do is try to make a difference.
