The first study evaluated the early implementation of the E-Rate program in US public schools from 1998 to 2000. Data was collected through surveys of schools and administrative records covering all E-Rate funding applications and commitments. The purpose was to provide an early look at the impact of the E-Rate program. The second study evaluated specific features of media sharing Web 2.0 technologies, including the ability to zoom in/out of artifacts, post asynchronous comments on artifacts, and add handwritten annotations. The features allowed learners and tutors to provide feedback and focus attention at different levels of granularity.
