Neither the teacher nor the technology causes learning. If that were the
case, all students exposed to the same teacher/technology at the same time
in the same place would learn the same thing. Learning is the learner's
response to stimuli and better explains (although not completely) why
learning varies even though everyone (in the learning population) received
the same teacher/technology stimuli.
