Redesigning Introductory Economics - Techno-Collaborative Learning

Does computer-mediation enhance student performance or student interest in the learning process? In this paper we present the somewhat tentative results of an experiment carried out in teaching/learning methodology and pedagogy. The goal of the experiment was to examine, compare and elicit results to identify the differences, If any, in leaning outcomes between two classes One class was taught using computer-mediated technologies in conjunction with "active" learning pedagogical principles; and the other class was taught by the same instructor with identical course syllabi and textbook but using a more conventional approach of lectures and tests to achieve learning.
