It's quite difficult to use information technology productively. My experience with teachers and even with many in psychology , and other knowledge workers, is that they themselves are not using IT as productively as they could. <br />I argued that here for example: https://cogzest.com/2014/07/cognitively-potent-software-is-mightier-than-the-pen-in-the-hands-of-able-motivated-knowledge-builders-response-to-mueller-oppenheimer-2014/<br /><br />The majority of the following quite large book I wrote is filled with tips for learning with technology:<br />In Cognitive Productivity: Using Knowledge to Become Profoundly Effective.<br /><br />This shows that there is a lot to learn.<br /><br />Until we have a study that pits adequately trained IT readers with those who read without technology, we won't have an adequate test. However, there are plenty of a priori reasons to think that if IT is used properly, it will lead to superior comprehension, understanding and recall. For example, research has clearly shown that deliberate practice is a requirement for expertise. Moreover, test-enhanced learning is superior to learning with self-testing. IT can automate mastery of knowledge kit via "productive practice". There's simply no way that a human without software can match the efficiency of properly designed productive practice software.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13355181389041722314noreply@blogger.com
