The following list provides a wide range of overviews, reviews and case studies on the use of C&IT tools in teaching and learning. Their applicability in developing students' higher level learning (adaptive learning) can be evaluated using the TELRI course design guidelines. In this way, course tutors and developers can profile the purpose of the learning in a course and design appropriate assignments, looking to see where C&IT approaches and traditional methods can be best applied.
