    A8) In some English books, content is there b/c it’s cheap, not good. Relying on tech instead of weak content would be great. #oklaed

    #oklaed @MPSTechnology I think we have a good process in place for this, just don't always agree on quality of content & use of bandwidth
    • MPSTechnology Jan 22 @ 9:45 PM EST
      A7: Yes, to ensure we are compliant. The rest needs to be a discussion like between IT and curriculum to get the right amount. #oklaed
