I just assumed that the disservice you would be referring to would be the fact that IT jobs for Americans are disappearing. As a s/w engineer (not IT) I would suggest that anyone considering IT or any high-tech career should first look at the job market.
There are numerous threads on freerepublic regarding the factors involved in the growing trend to offshore and hire H1B and L1 visa workers. Not that IT is the only sector being hit. Any American who works behind a desk could be unemployed very soon according to one corporate exec.

Here is the premises that this thread is based on (or at least what I hope for):  That businesses whether large or small, public or private, well funded or not, are currently grappling with the issues of integrating technology.  In all cases they face the fact that technology-related innovation tends to be adopted in a patchy fashion by an untrained or poorly trained staff. In addition, regardless of the level of resources available, those resources that do exist tend to be severely underutilized, or at least not utilized in the most effective ways.  That is why I was wondering what you guys thought about the Perfect IT course design.
