A study at a South African high school, for example, indicated that only 33% of students had access to phones with substantial internal and flash-card memory. This led “to the regular deletion of older content in order to make room for new material”

(a) increase access to student information and campus resources, (b) increase inter-action with learning contents, (c) create representations of knowledge, (d) augment face-to-face instruction, (e) support performance & decision-making, (f) enable personalized learning, and (g) deploy instruction. These groups are not mutually exclusive, and they are summarized in Table1. Se

Knowledge in SSLEs is perceived as belonging to, and distributed in, communities of practice or “environments of participation” in which the learner practices the patterns of inquiry and learning, and the use of shared resources is part of the preparation for membership in a particular community (Firdyiwek, 1999)

This level is also about using social software to foster learning by increasing or improving users’ capabilities for aggregating and incorporating vari-ous types of digital resources into the e-learning experience.

Then it applies machine-learning algorithms to present the material in the order it thinks will be most useful to a given student. But there’s a caveat, says Jose Ferreira, Knewton’s founder: “Knewton cannot work when there’s no right answer.”

A famous 2003 Cornell University study found that students who were allowed to use their laptops during class recalled far less of the material than those who were denied access to computers. More broadly, a 40-country Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development study recently found that the students who reported spending the most time on computers, both in class and at home, performed worse than their peers on a pair of standardized tests.

It is worth noting that the effectiveness of ITS is an issue ofsignificant importance because the development, research, and useof ITS involve multiple disciplines, including computer science,artificial intelligence, psychology, and education and consumesubstantial financial, intellectual, and educational resources. Forexample,Woolf and Cunningham (1987)reported that each hourof ITS instruction costs 200 hours of work to build.
