[quoting Hart, 26 Jul 96.b] Fifty years of "research" (and I use the quotes to imply skepticism) has shown most conclusively that there is no significant difference between teaching a subject using one medium vs. any other. The only discriminating factor is content.
Beg to differ. The discriminating factor is the context. The whole content/media (the original Clark/Kozma exchange was actually on methods and media) debate in the current version we have here seems rather devoid of the whole socio-personal aspect. Come on folks--let's face it, we do teach a bit differently (whether that means methods, delivery, or focus) with different instructional media. And, let's not forget the learners and what they contribute to the experience.
