Abstract
Many universities and colleges seem to be serious about exploring the potential of using technology in the classroom as a way to facilitate the creation of learning environments. Changes in attitudes and policies must take place if these institutions wish to ensure that their best faculty are engaged in the process. Universities usually value original research over research that leads to understanding that produces competence. It is incumbent upon those who would classify themselves as researchers in the latter category to take the lead in defining how one assesses whether students have in fact gained a level of understanding that produces competence. Failure to do so and leave the process up to the university as a whole will probably ensure that the initiative is abandoned or that it dies a slow death because competent faculty are not involved.
