3. Significant Difference
Teaching with ALN Technology: Benefits and Costs Journal
of Engineering Education, October 2001, D. A., Albertelli,
G., Kashy, E.
 "Even with higher course standards for success, student
performance on examinations has improved, a larger fraction of
students achieve the goals of the class, and the proportion of
students who excel has increased. Female students benefit even
more than their male counterparts. The level of communication
and interaction among students has also increased dramatically,
with mostly positive (but some negative)effects. Data concerning
cost effectiveness indicate that the technology can reduce costs,
but perhaps more importantly, it can increase the quality
without increasing costs."
