      Criotical skill, making meaning out of experience. Statistical methods and qunatitative data will tell what is going on but not why. Qualitative approach grounded in the lived experince with customized interventions. I like Twitter and IM idea and the notion that you don't need a hard drive full of stuff but a network of people who know stuff.

The more sophisticated these tools become, and the more adeptly test makers use them, the better assessment will be.
