401 citations recorded by the source corpus.
This article presents survey data from beginning Spanish classes using a combination of technologies: Internet activities, CD-ROM, electronic pen pals, and threaded discussions. Goals of the study were to determine students' perceptions of (a) the role and importance of the instructor in technology-enhanced language learning (TELL), (b) the accessibility and relevance of the lab and the individual technological components in student learning, and (c) the effects of the technology on the foreign language learning experiences. Students attributed an important role to instructors and perceived that cultural knowledge, listening and reading skills, and independent learning skills were enhanced but were divided in their perceptions about the learning or interest values of the individual components. Implications are presented that may be useful to universities developing technology enhanced instruction.

- Effect of demographic factors on e-learning effectiveness in a higher learning institution in Malaysia (2011, background): “Stepp-Greany (2002) also noted that technology helps incapable students by “redistributing teacher and classmate attention so that incapable students can become more active participants in the class” A review of studies carried out by Stepp-Greany (2002) reported that there are a number of benefits ”
