"There can be no gainsaying of the fact that a great revolution is taking place in the world today . . . . Now, whenever anything new comes into history it brings with it new challenges and new opportunities. . . . Through our scientific and technological genius, we have made of this world a neighborhood and yet we have not had the ethical commitment to make of it a brotherhood. But somehow, and in some way, we have got to do this."
Martin Luther King, March 31, 1968.
"I've got two pieces of bad news about that experimental English comp course where students used computer conferencing. First, over the course of the semester, the experimental group showed no progress in abilities fo compose an essay. The second piece of bad news is that the control group showed no progress either."
Roxanne Hiltz at the New Jersey Institute of Technology
