Abstract
As noted by Jonassen (2014), computer use has evolved over the last thirty years, deeply diversifying how students learn. This resource now functions variously as a learning guide or tutor (as in access to web-based tutorials and information sites), as a communicative tool with self and others for reasoning, inquiring, and creating or disseminating knowledge (as in the programs in computer games, English, science, and mathematics outlined in other chapters in this book), and as an organiser through which students can self-manage, reflect upon, and enact/improve their learning in systematic ways (as in learning dashboards).
