The paradigm shift is the increase in team learning, in collaboration as the standard method for study and work
It is not computers!
Computers are means only.

The Case for Collaborative Learning• #1 Virtually all of the learning gain from computers stems from improved
communication--- Testimony of Wake Forest students and faculty.
• #2 Computers haven’t improved learning. Computers have enabled more collaboration. More collaboration has improved learning!
• #3 The boom in collaborative learning is directly attributable to three very powerful “tools for collaboration” that weren’t around until the computer appeared.
• #4 Use of these three tools is easily learned. Spend your time on these 3 tools. Leave the fancier (more expensive, more difficult) stuff for later! Your students will feel the results immediately!
