Yes, it does, Marvin, provided the instruction is well planned and the assignments well assessed. What do you see as the most important challenges for instructors when supporting and facilitating this kind of student research?

It can also help with distributing learning moments, Marvin. How do you think this would help teachers/instructors understand more about flexible delivery?

Internet Changes
Yes, copyright issues are critical and often instructors do not take the necessary precautions with Internet resources and material. Do you think this is something that could help students learn to be more intentional about sources and referencing adequately?

Using Technology to Develop New Skills
So the approach is much more integrated and technology-rich, Tim. In all it will be an holistic experience for the students so long as the teaching methods have also changed for the instructor. What specifically do you think would have to change from the more conventional methods to these you describe?
