Hi Lindy,
teaching styles differ according to the field of study. Teaching Medicine might be one extreme in comparison to say philosophy, religion...... And the era is over for traditional reading material as study resource only. I myself like media to help me with studying, experiencing new things, even if I get lost sometimes on the internet etc.. Evaluating the quality of resources might be difficult even for the academics, yes, and time consuming. How students can manage this immense (also technical) information transfer? Maybe teamwork, well organised, might lighten the increasing workload of following the right information streams.
Cheers,
Karola
