I am a somewhat differently 'perplexed of Cardiff' too... see De-Lowental of Westminster. I think there are many very committed ILT members and not ILT members out there who would find the tone of Bob McClellands contribution rather 'righteous'. There are many different reasons as to why lecturers may or may not have all their modules on-line... For those who haven't done this, it can be because of a wariness in accepting all the 'hype' surrounding on-line learning - or narrow-mindedness (depending which side of the fence you're on in the debate); lack of expertise; lack of time made available at a Course, or Departmental level for careful development and consideration of materials and in particular, clarifying what staff and students want out of 'on-line learning'; plus the fact that some institutions just don't have the money and resources to initiate the debate or support all the initiatives that staff might like to undertake in this area... To produce materials on-line takes time and commitment... it is only worth doing if it's done really well, and because we are sure why we're doing it.
