It is important that an assessment be made of the innovation itself to learn of its nature and potential relevance to the course, to determine what learning goals in the course may be impacted, and to thoughtfully determine what to do. For example, it may be clear that GPS needs to be added, but does the existence of GPS make celestial navigation (using the stars to establish directions) obsolete?
