Enjoyed The Changing University paper but would really like for Diana to provide more detailed definitions/descriptions/examples of...

[quoting Laurillard's paper] ...computer-assisted learning (CAL) to represent any form of computer-based teaching program ... audio-graphics to represent synchronous conferencing ... computer-mediated conferencing (CMC) as the asynchronous form of conferencing, and ... interactive computer-marked assignments (ICMA) to cover those aspects of assessment that can be handled adequately by a program.

Seems like until we have a good understanding of those concepts, we will be like the proverbial team of blind people trying to describe the elephant.
