The idea of the chapter in the course pack is to use power tools to facilitate learning. There has been sufficient development now so that people who are not speacialists in computers can use computers to create websites, graphics, puzzles etc to enhance their students' learning.
The puzzles that were developed in the class, were not time consuming, yet they can be very interesting for the students. Similarly, the teacher can have the studetns participate in activities and thus make them part of the process of creating information technology based learning.
One criticism of this approach could be that the teacher and the students might get caught up in the 'how' of figuring out the technology, but as time passes and technology progresses, this criticim should dwindle. Computer Aided Techology design is the answer to this problem.
