I find most educational-technology conferences are a lot like an episode of the X-Files with a cast made up entirely of Fox Mulders. Everyone wants to believe. There are a lot of technology cheerleaders and a lot of iPad sightings, and no one seems to notice that Dana Scully—the skeptical, pragmatic agent designed to bring Mulder back down to Earth—has gone missing.

[Nota Bene: “Scully” is persuaded that class performance is improved by adaptive release, i.e. requiring students to complete quizzes and online assessment before new instructional materials are provided.]
