Hi there folks!
I am writing in the hope that some of you might be able to send me some useful  
citations of research on the positive effects of instructional tech on student  
learning.  It seems to be the case that some folks are debating this question  
at my school.  I guess that claims against the benefits of instructional tech  
as well as its rising cost in times of tight budgets are motivating this discussion.
I have been involved with IT as an instructor in foreign languages and literature  
since the late 1990's and strongly believe that instructional technology has enhanced  
both my teaching and my students' learning.  I can speak to that, but I am a bit  
discouraged when I read that my experience might be a rarity.  To quote Joel Hartman,  
"overall higher education has not convincingly demonstrated that technology has  
had a systemic, widespread, or sustained impact on the process of teaching or  
on student learning outcomes" (EDUCAUSE Review, vol. 43, no. 6 (November/December  
2008).
Specific citations or links to articles would be gladly received.
Any help out there woud be appreciated!
Best,
Harry
