Professorial trend spotter predicts end of written word

Professorial trend spotter predicts end of written word - don't think I disagree...but it certainly isn't reflected in education yet. Most course I take are almost exculsively text (with the occasional audio file or graphic). One of the biggest challenges, however, that audio and video have to overcome is the lack of "surveyability". Text gives the end user complete control for pacing and sequencing. Audio and video put that control in the hands of the content creator - a big limitation.
