The Effect of New Technology
Coleen, Yes, instructors work side by side with technology as mediators of learning. We are still very much needed but not to function as before but now to guide and intervene as needed through the learning process of our students. Dr. Ruth Reynard

Coleen, Yes, I know what you mean - my shock when I returned to pursue graduate studies was to see that all the library cards were gone!! That's when I realized I would have to get on board and keep using new technology and that everything would change forever. Dr. Ruth Reynard

Using Technology to Develop New Skills
Penelope, I am not sure to what you are referring here. Could you qualify your response further? Do you mean that you think new technology raises self-confidence in students and facilitates the development of the adventure in learning new things? How exactly have you seen this happen with your students? What about your role as an instructor in this process? Dr. Ruth Reynard

Penelope, Very true, however, the full capacity this technology has in capture and distribution means that the learning can continue outside the class meeting and also in supporting online sessions or fully online as well. Dr. Ruth Reynard
