ABSTRACT
Course writers today demand training. Gone are the days when the novice writer would confidently set about the task of writing with only minimal guidance. Gone are the days of experiment, when the enthusiastic writer would, unaided, become aware of the problems of teaching by correspondence and creatively adapt his or her classroom techniques to teaching at a distance. Gone are the days when the intervention of an editor or educational technologist was considered a wrongful intrusion into the preserve of the teacher.
