Perhaps it is because I just spent three days in a vortex of design in Moodle after having lived in the WebCT/Blackboard Vista 4 world for a while that I feel some affinity for this article's premise. Perhaps. Still, the issue of a forced pedagogy in the 'CMS/LMS' is a reality and I wonder... just how do faculty go beyond surviving and reach "thriving" in eLearning who have no web design or learning design "skill"? Well, something to consider.

Ok, so I like this link because it emphasizes one often ignored point about "powerpoint" and similar softwares ... they're PRESENTATION tools, not online tools per se. I am rather surprised to find that many faculty are still loading publisher or home-grown Face-2-Face slide presentations into online courses and calling it engaging content... no, clipart is NOT engaging!

This ZaidLearn article is a good primer for anyone preparing a F2F presentation that is not intended for Web distribution... opinion alert! Seems we should respect these as two different mediums!

As colleague Rhonda Epper described, "There is also an excellent article in this month's issue of Educause Review on Ebooks in Higher Education. The author speculates more widespread adoption in the next several years, but he says there needs to be an "iPod equivalent" for the e-reader, which has not yet arrived. He also talks about the cultural shift that is happening from print to digital. "
