Stanley,
The challenge is very real for students as well as instructors, in my opnion. Often students have had models of learning that have not been supported or mediated by technology. Also, even if they have, they may still not have been developed as autonomous learners and, therefore, would still be challenged with the use of new technology. As you say, the challenge for the instructor is very much about instructional design and the ways in which the learning process can be mediated rather than driven.
