Many of the technological tools that learners use outside the classroom can also be used in online classes. The capabilities of software that formerly had to be brought as a separate program to be downloaded to one computer have been included in internet based software. There are a lot of advantages to internet based software such as using less memory on your computer and capabilities from any computer as long as you can access the internet. In addition many hands on technology tools are now being computer simulated. Therefore you can access a robots tutorial program and work with a simulated robotic arm online rather than having to purchase a robotic arm for thousands of dollars. In an online learning environment, these devices, and tools are great for adding manipulatives to the course. Students therefore can learn without purchasing any additional software or devices.
