COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY IS MAKING A SIGNIFICANT AND POSITIVE IMPACT ON EDUCATION

Courses for which computer-based networks were used increased student-student and student-teacher interaction, increased student-teacher interaction with lower-performing students, and did not decrease the traditional forms of communication used. Many student who seldom participate in face-to-face class discussion become more active participants online.

Greater student cooperation and sharing and helping behaviors occurred when students used computer-based learning that had students compete against the computer rather than against each other.

Small group collaboration on computer is especially effective when students have received training in the collaborative process.
