Hi Jean, Thank you for you input on the subject of instructional development and change. You are right about the need to embrace change rather than fight it. The key is to develop an understanding of what the change is and how it will impact the learning process. A few years ago when PowerPoint was introduced to education people jumped on the use of it, and it became the medium of instruction rather than just a tool to be used in instruction. A PP presentation is an additional tool to be used but the instructor is still the key to unlocking the knowledge that is being shared. This is why they still needs us. If not we would have been replaced by machines years ago. We bring the human factor to the classroom which is essential to the learning process. Gary
