| MOST depressing news of the |
| month, possibly of the year, comes |
| from the City University Business |
| School. Researchers there have |
| concluded that 'electronic |
| classrooms' could he with us sooner |
| than expected. |
| According to Clive Holtham, the |
| Bull Information Systems Professor |
| of information Management (sorry, |
| but that is his title), the electronic |
| approach to teaching enables |
| students to cover more topics than |
| face-to-face methods. |
| 'Since up to 30 people can actively |
| contribute to a lesson at any given |
| time, the scope for student |
| participation is greatly increased over |
| a traditional lecture or seminar where |
| one person only can contribute at a |
| time,' he said. |
| The professor is quick to point out |
| that the 'electronic classroom |
| approach' does not mean humans |
| will ultimately be replaced by |
| computers in schools and univer- |
| sities. I don 't believe him. |
