The link to Virginia's article was very timely; she makes some good points. It's a shame about your TAFE course being so unsatisfactory (in this context, at least). Usually TAFE is pretty progressive. And just because lecturers are out of the workplace for many years is no excuse not to keep up with such a fast-changing industry. It's <strong>their</strong> industry. Nevertheless, I can see how it would happen, and at least at university there are often external staff (who work in the real world) teaching in tutorials. I'm definitely going to get the Charles Wyke-Smith book — thanks for the recommendations! Hi Geoff, thanks for the very thoughtful comment.
