Mark, I have some questions for you that are different from those we have
been discussing in literacy. I will list them below.

I am interested in what you think about those colleges and universities who
have jumped onto the ed tech bandwagon to teach through blackboard.com and
or webct. My college is using BB but I find that while their intentions are
the very best I worry about both the evaluation of this use and about the
digital divide.

This brings me to a second question. On other boards I am on (listservs)the
question is how to evaluate technology. I have a fear that people tend to
evaluate how students (esp college and adults) use the technology rather
than produce language.

I wondered if you might address assessment.

Thanks.

Tommy
