Teresa - 1pt for bringing up the gereration divide. -Chris

Lori, I was curious about this as well. Unfortunately, since my business is developing web-based courses, I'm probably not the right person to ask (we don't believe in workbooks and paper!). But I am curious to hear what response you get.

Excellent point Pat. Well-stated and backed up well. 1 pt.

Whose is this?

Teresa--I like that you have not only explained what the role should be but what needs to happen to get there, too. Great work! 1 pt.

Chris I like that you continue to grow on what you have put in previous posts. It's great to be able to see your thoughts changing and growing over time during this course. Thanks for sharing your evolving thought processes with us. 1 pt.

Lori--thanks for continuing to bring in outside resources for us to explore in addition to the course readings. Your attention to detail and to providing depth of examples is terrific. 1 pt.

Doug, Excellent point. This is one of the issues I deal with all the time at work. You can't simply re-purpose old instructional (or presentation) materials, and call it "online training." 1 pt

Brian, I think the approach you describe here is an important one, especially from the third-party provider's point of view. The more we can create instructional programs that integrate into or augment existing F2F approaches, the more likely IT folks will get that buy-in. But beyond just buy-in from potential clients, the blended approach is likely more effective from the learners' perspective as well. 1 pt

Teresa, Good point on integrating use of technology into the general curriculum. 1 pt from Pat

Chris, Thanks for the question regarding the "value" of good training or instructional materials. Makes you wonder: is price really a function of instructional quality? Maybe on the corporate side it should be. I don't know. I don't an answer. 1 pt
