Impact on students for example
Students enjoyed learning with computers

1. I have no computer at home but I would very much
   like to have a computer at home.
2. I like the story of the Witch on the ILE.
3. The software is very nice and colourful.
4. I like the exercises and the games It helps me
   to learn English.
5. I like tasting real food when we did the lesson
   on Tasting Things it was more fun.
6. Now that the story is on the computer, I can come
   any time to read it again.

Impact on students for example
For the Math class (3A), an increase of 5.7 marks
was recorded, together with a decrease in
standard deviation. The increase in mark and
decrease in standard deviation was more obvious
for the Lower Ability Group (LAG) students
(13.8, -6.4). This is a good indication that the
teaching strategies of Online within Class
Ability Group Approach worked well for this
cohort in this particular situation. The LAG
students had more chances to develop their
optimum potential when learning with a computer.

Impact on students for example
For the English class (3D), an increase of
overall mean (5.1) was recorded together with an
increase in standard deviation (2.1). This
observation was constant for all ability groups
when data were analyzed by ability grouping. This
indicated that the strategy of Extended Learning
Opportunity Approach was an effective strategy,
although it did not help to eliminate
individual differences.
