Thanks Martin Nystrand for forwarding the fascinating message about
separation of writing and oral communication in China. While parts of
our academy are eerily moving in a similar direction, other parts seem
to be decaying in ways that affect both written and oral communication.
At present it is web-based distance education that is planned to be
completely one way that has me wincing.
