Is there a future in print...?

Sorry - I'm not starting THAT argument...

It's just that someone showed me some research data compiled by the Larkins which suggested that when students are given web resources they learn less effectively than when they are given simple paper notes.  The theory is that the web is great for investigation and exploration but the natural desire to keep exploring stops you taking things in or committing them to your long-term memory.

The pay off was that if you want people to learn stuff - go easy on the weblinks in the document.  Intranets may allow people to choose the information they want but they may not be the best way of getting that information to stick.
