  With the rising cost of carnegie online learning college tuition, many traditional students find that they need to work a full time job to be able to afford a college degree. They are commenting for a ten-university European project called SteelCAL. New learning technologies are not effectively "embedded in the day to day practice of learning and teaching for most higher educational institutions... the crucial reason is that many academics experienced no training and little experience in the utilization of communications and information technology as an educational tool". Note that Joyes together with Scott mention under "Full Evaluation" that they are comparing "the effectiveness of SteelCAL through an experimental group of students to a matched control group who ? re taught traditionally". It will be interesting to hear exactly how they do it. As they say this exercise is "difficult to help organize".
  
  Dr. Martin Oliver, a person in the higher education research and development unit with University College, London, describes the down sides of evaluating online instructing and learning. In discussing the importance of evaluation he says: "The drive to evaluate has not been matched by support and training for any practitioners who are supposed to execute these processes". He concludes that this issues raised in their article "represent only the starting place for an ongoing discourse on the evaluation of online learning and teaching".
  
  Anthony Rosie's article is all about his experience covering "meaningful engagement and the enjoyment of learning" following the ideas developed by Biggs who suggests that "Relational knowledge involves students in developing systems associated with interconnection between concepts together with learning approaches with teaching being a contributor to this linkage".
  
  Bernard Scott in the Centre of Educational Technology at De Montfort University mentions the CASTE system for course design along with the matter of "conversations" involving system and student. Scott was associated with Gordon Pask who past away in 1996 and was deemed a founding father associated with Cybernetics. The Web of Science demonstrates Pask's 1976 book about Conversation Theory has been cited 66 times due to the fact was published. CASTE is being implemented at De Montford with regard to a master's level process in learning and teaching.
  
  Diana Thompson together with Garry Homer are situated in the University of Wolverhampton which is also active at some other sites in Shropshire notably in the new town of Telford. Wolverhampton and Telford are two of the few large towns in one of the most rural counties in England using a widely dispersed population mainly engaged in agriculture. The authors describe just how IT training is implemented at all levels for people in the county.
  
  Mr. M. J. Wood is the enterprising head teacher on the Maidstone secondary school which often recently won an award for its Web site. He is under virtually no illusions about what has to be done "on a scale of just one to 20 for measuring the potential use of IT in teaching together with learning. I would not be confident to position us beyond point 1". He comments to the climate of opinion at home: "If parents realize that there's a shortage of words books in a school they will be quick to complain but as yet they see access to computers for a luxury.
