This is true. Glenda Hoye has been teaching Histology on line for years. The
practical portion of experience is obtained in a laboratory setting. I think
it's an excellent method for OJT techs to get the background education that
is so valuable for the position.

	Are you suggesting that microtomy can be taught on-line? I don't
think that the tactile aspect can be learned from a monitor. Maybe a lot of
the "classroom" instruction can be done in this way, but there's a great
deal of hands-on learning that would need to be supplemented at a medical
faciltity.
