Remarks on Learning Technologies (hereafter LT)
So I am not certain if replies I got where that useful for the
strategic planning. They were useful for understanding what LT
is and what it could be.

One idea I feel is bound to be important is that LT can provide for EOT
integrative principles and common technology artifacts. The role Gilman
describes for universal access's role in Learning Technology is already
of this ilk.

The seemingly significant lack of coordination and common understanding
of current status of technologies is in my opinion the most serious barrier
to success. It is also the greatest opportunity because if we could increase
coordination and common understanding, then we have achieved integrative role!
The diversity of quality and number of different approaches to related problems
is typical of a healthy research program. I doubt if this is optimal approach
to PACI but it is hard to change as so much of the work is funded outside PACI.
PACI cannot easily set up teams in the project management sense -- just in the 
communication sense.
	I think the rather chaotic meeting of Learning technology group at San Diego illustrated
this problem. Raul told me that the visitors from CILT were disappointed and
now chary of working with EOT PACI. Clearly working hard to achieve a uniformity
of knowledge is a good and eventually achievable goal with only modest encouragement
("pressure") from leadership team.

So I can divide projects into four broad areas
1) Core Learning Technologists
2) Evaluation of Best Practice in LT and creation of Repositories
3) Instruction on how to use Learning Tools and Technologies
4) Use of Learning Technologies in practice (testbeds)

Raul would not consider 4) a part of LT. However where 4) is "in" LT or not, LT
certainly should be aware of such projects
There are several PACI efforts in these categories which were not sent to me. I have
added a few in () below. One example is excellent ET team C work of ANL/UIC on
high end multimedia
There are similarily seveal PACI partners efforts on non PACI projects which
are not listed. For instance OSC does not list their succesful use of Tango 
in DoD Modernization training.
