Abstract
Recent advances in the science of teaching and learning have opened the eyes of many instructors to course design, instructional practice, and assessment techniques intended to enhance and individualize student educational experience.

Considering these overwhelming challenges, some instructors are asking, “Is the use of technology in the classroom the solution?”
