6.3 Technical Contexts of Advanced Courseware Projects
[Refer to Technical Characteristics column in Table 6.1.]
Past educational computing efforts often existed in technical contexts which
emphasized fragmented functions, separation between the role of the learner
and the role of the author, and emphasis on the use of one platform over another.
In the future, educational computing endeavors should try to overcome the
shackles of these frames of thought about limitations introduced in early
years of educational computing, but which are no longer necessary.
