Professors and students differ in opinion on technology in class - Zac Halpern, Boston College Heights
A study completed this year by the U.S. Department of Education concluded that the use of technology in the classroom enhances learning. "This new report reinforces that effective teachers need to incorporate digital content into everyday classes and consider open-source learning management systems, which have proven cost-effective in school districts and colleges nationwide," said U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. The study analyzed 46 studies of online learning spanning from 1996 to July 2008. Duncan is using the study to encourage the use of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds "to bring broadband access and online learning to more communities."
