  2. My Major Themes 1/ For the next decade, teaching & learning (as well as tenure & promotion)will be dominated by experiments in pedagogy that are newly enabled by computers. 2/ The individual student will be the apex of all data-collection and the center of all learning strategies. 2

  3. Although the “computer revolution is still in its infancy, already we know that--- • Hybrid courses are best (Central Florida) • Students on more wired campuses benefit from more effective teaching. (Kuh&Hu) • Most gains come from better communication. (Wake Forest) • New learning items are slow in coming, expensive to develop, & fairly perishable. • Five learning strategies are suddenly receiving much more attention. • Manufacturing & education are newly customized and just-in-time 3
