=== Course Content / Learning Style ===
In order for Westminster staff, volunteers and general congregation to meet newer technical challenges for their church, these training courses must should focus more on collaboration and follow-up skills through the use of technology as opposed to simply using technology to gain information. Today, individuals are aware that web-pages, e-mails, and electronic bulletin boards are interesting ways to access information, but individuals also need to develop the subtle art of <u>online</u>communication, collaboratation, monitoring and follow-up in order to effect change. In additional, they also need to understand the advantages and limitations of each type of communication technology.
Great care must be taken to "deconstruct" (remove biases) from traditional learning methods that tend to hinder, and not empower the student in collaborating over the Internet.
