Having these facts shown, this was a reason why I didn’t want to have any of my students not able to complete their work due to outside resources. Many CBLEs allow for a high degree of learner control and opportunities for self-directed learning (Williams 1996). Using a computer base learning system could be more beneficial to motivated students, but if the students from previous years have not used computer based programs then they would have to build their schemes and go through disequilibrium to learn have to figure out their self-regulatory learning. I thought that it would be easier for students to work on their schemes with reading and writing in a certain point of view then working on the computer with different
