Discussion of the use of WebCT course packs based on a survey ("done," says the author, "we suspect, with an eye on commercial benefit") conducted by McGraw-Hill. The (original) French version of the article is significantly better, though both contain numerous errors (WebCT, for example, was founded by Murray Golberg in the French version and Murray Globerg in the English). The value of this article isn't so much in the content (which is suspect twice over, as the emphasis on "e-texts" (as opposed to, say, email and communications) suggests) as it is in pinpointing McGraw-Hill's marketing efforts.
