"How well students learn depends on the interaction among the faculty member, the student, the content, the support system and the technology. All five are causally intertwined. The technology may be better for one student than another. Certain faculty may be better for one student than another. The content may be more enticing for one student than another. And so forth. It’s not really all that different from the choices first-time full-time students make when they decide between a major public university and a small liberal arts college." —DR. BETTY VANDENBOSCH, The Committee for Economic Development |
