Miguel, That is true and the contexts of learning expand and are enriched by the varied inputs and connectivity. This also changes the overall expectations of the students and must change the role and focus of the instructor. Dr. Ruth Reynard

Thomas, Great points about work readiness - the technology also enhances the thinking/teaching and learning processes by increasing interaction, engagement and collaboration. These are skills employers look for as well and they improve student academic success. Dr. Ruth Reynard

The Effect of New Technology
Thomas, I agree, Thomas. Certainly the various input possibilities can provide diverse choices for students, however, these must be intentionally designed into the course interactions, delivery and mediation of the course. Dr. Ruth Reynard
