I voted None of the above because…yes some software is excellent, yes some teachers use it effectively, but no it does not necessarily facilitate learning. It depends on what is being taught by the software. If it is simple memorization, yes, I believe that well-designed software can be effective, so yes it faciltates learning; however, there is more to learning than memorization. Furthermore, some students really struggle with memorization because they have memory challenges.
