I ran across a post on The NOSE regarding an article which attempts to answer the question “Does Technology Make a Difference in Learning?”.

It is brief and a good read.  I also liked the attempt to define learning.

While I enjoyed the examples of how technology can have a positive impact on the different components of learning (motivation, opportunity…); I more appreciated the structured approach to responding the question. 

I certainly don’t want to imply that you can put a box around learning, but it is comfortable for me to identify a set of specific goals which facilitate the evaluation of technology – in this case, for learning.
