Thank you Doc for this wonderful articulation of my own experiences.

Pleasel notice that I have changed the subject from
Goals vs. Objectives LO16383
to
Internet as a LO tool

Do internet and its many applications (listservers, newsgroups)
give rise to an LO or not? No, according to my experiences.

But is internet a valuable tool for Learning Organisations? Why? What
do you think?

Best wishes
