[|Charbonneau-Gowdyand] and [| Cechova] (2009) found this to be an effective strategy for learning English as a second language. Students in the Chez Republic used video-based conferencing to conduct language learning lessons with a teacher in Canada. This conferencing allowed students to have conversations through live interactions allowing them to practice speaking and listening to the language. This learning environment was found to be efficient and effective for learning English as a second language. [|Charbonneau-Gowdyand], P., & [|Cechova] , I. (2009).

This comment is in response to Lisa’s comment regarding [|YouTube - Blended Learning: The Future] found at  [] Jefferies and Hyde (2010) suggest universities provide managed learning environments (MLE’s) for students to access course materials at anytime and anywhere. Technology has the potential to support the diverse needs of students in higher education. However, Jefferies and Hyde found students do not want to lose face-to-face teaching programs. They recommend universities to provide students with the option of blended learning where students have the option for both face-to-face learning and technology mediated learning. This option for students is being developed as technologies are continually advancing. [|Jefferies], A., & [|Hyde] , R. (2010).

This comment is in response to Jane’s comment regarding [|Curtis Bonk on how E-books Impact Learning] found at  [] Electronic interactive storybooks may not become a tool in the future to increase children’s’ reading comprehension. Grimshaw, Dungworth and McKnight (2007) found there was not a significant difference between students’ reading comprehension when they read from interactive electronic books compared to reading from printed texts. The researchers attributed this to students being distracted by the animation and not being able to use their finger as a bookmark to follow along. The researchers feel many interactive storybooks provide eye candy, but do not increase reading comprehension. Grimshaw, S., Dungworth, N., McKnight, & Morris, A. (2007).
