Re Rob's comments: Of course, I can raise my hand and announce that I have constructed an on-line course--by the seat of my pants--a real work of bricolage, a cobbling together of various things. A cobbling together because if I didn't do it, someone else would have, and I would not have liked what they did. And yet given the inertia of Universities, once a course is constructed, it remains for years and years and years. I guess my real point is--I think that many of us might find ourselves facing this dilemma in the next few years. It would be good to get together to talk about what works and what doesn't, the politics involved etc. And by next year, more of us will probably be faced with the prospect of designing a course. And more of us will actually have had the experience of designing and running one. Catherine F.
