------------------
I cannot remember where our "no discernable difference" site was or is,
but a while ago I believe someonw put together a bunch of study results
online of research investigating the effectiveness of REAL classes (with
just an instructor) as opposed to a variety of technology enhanced,
mediated, etc. classes, and where the outcomes measurements indicated "no
discernable difference".  Even though this is not compelling, it does tend
to silence some of the arguments in favor of those REAL teachers who do it
all with the power of their carismatic voices.

Wish I had the URL.
