The Effect of New Technology
Carl, Thank you :) yes, my research emerges from an integration of learning theory, theories of interaction and language learning...new technology has the potential of providing this potential for engagement and application for learners - I would love if you would continue this discussion in my instructional exchange forum in the faculty lounge - great discussion!

Evaluating Learning
Jason, We do want students to be able to memorize successfully when needed, however, this cannot be the only way we assess what students know. Memorizing material does not mean the material is understood by the student - only remembered...we must find ways to check for understanding and assess actual learning. Dr. Ruth Reynard

Kerry, ...unless the instructor still tries to perform the more conventional role of being the source of information. When the instructor changes their role adaptively when using new technology, then I agree :) Dr. Ruth Reynard
