One thing that Kearsley says is that the use of computers can change a student and instructor interaction. I think that students are more likely to open up to you online and seem to be able to express themselves better than if you just have them write with a pencil and paper. I find that open responses are more detailed and thought processing is deeper and more entailed when I pose the question and ask it to be answered online rather than on a test. I have gotten responses that are expressed well and are much more detailed through this media.
