Harvard University Press, 1994. I like what I believe the authors were trying to do, and I expect it may have led to some interesting discussions in their original conference presentation. Nevertheless, I do not believe this paper in its substance is up to the standards of Technology Source. My most basic concern is that I simply did not feel enlightened or informed by it, had no urge to save it or share it with others. I did not come away with a new insight, a better basis for making decisions, some practical suggestions, nor even the simple pleasure of finding a known truth nicely expressed.
Definitions take the place of argument.
Briefly stating principles without justifying them is ok, where one then goes on to derive from those principles some guide to action, but in this case the bulk of the paper was asserting pedagogy in a vacuum and then reminding people at the end to make the proper use of technology, without spelling out what that was. Those who already know this don't need to read the paper. For those struggling to figure it out, the paper offers little assistance or fresh insight. Unfortunately I think the paper as currently conceived may be making its way towards something helpful, but as yet it has not surfaced. I do not think this piece should be published in Technology Source.
