Technology benefits for learningResearch from Becta ICT Test Bed shows

“Electronic learning resources enabled greater personalisation of learning”

for the learner it provides–ease of review of learning supporting reflection–flexibility of submission and feedback on work–wider experience

because the teacher can–easily create/adapt learning activities–store and share activities–provide tests which give instant feedback–link with others

and the organisation benefits from increased efficiency in–enrolling and tracking students –managing the curriculum and staff –monitoring performance
