I agree with you, and I would extend this to say that we need to
allow/force that process of self discovery and constructing meaning to
everything we do on-line (and off). In another strand someone queried how
to keep up students' interest over a semester online. I would suggest
that the best way to do that is to construct learning experiences that
challenge students both in the content being taught and in the medium
being used. One of the most powerful lessons I have had in this
conference is reading so many messages of utter frustration from people
with PhD. after their name. Yet the ones I saw stuck with it and became
regular visitors to the listservs, MOOs, etc.
