It should be apparent that technology

will play a crucial role in the success of

the information$-$age paradigm of

education. It will enable a quantum

improvement in student learning, and

likely at a lower cost per student per

year than in the current industrial$-$age

paradigm. Just as the electronic

spreadsheet made the accountant's job

quicker, easier, and less expensive, the

kind of LMS described here will make the

teacher's job quicker, easier, and less

expensive.

change in several crucial ways in the

near future. Increasing use of technology

will hopefully make the teacher's job

quicker, easier, and less expensive and

lead to improved student learning
