My University library surprisingly subscribes to ICCA journals.. I recall one
article by you (, Dr Hyatt in (March?) about Crafty book learning..

It talked about learning driven by "results" and "evaluation" ..And future ideas
like a server where all craftys could automatically share and download
learning..

IS this the one you are talking about? If so, the article was good and very
clear even to someone like me who knows nothing about programming
