Many engineering educators and administrators hope that new learning technologies can help relieve the accreditation and other curricular pressures without loss of learning nor added costs. With so much promise from use of new technologies, we conducted an extensive review of studies seeking evidence of this promise. Over 2,200 studies were reviewed (directly or indirectly) and about 760, which met our criteria, were used. Our review provides convincing evidence that information technologies can enhance learning when pedagogy is sound, and when there is good match of technology, techniques and objectives.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
