ConclusionConclusion

•Current software tools •Non integrated Tools

•Browser - No automated processes

•Programming •Integrated Tools - Commercial

•Costly to students•Need more research..

ConclusionConclusion

•Start by introducing electronic communication in the traditional setting. •Keep updating your technological skills•Fast growing innovation in technology will bring better tools. •Do not focus in the technology, this is the medium and not the end.
