Advancements in technology have made a significant difference to the way in which people are able to learn, and though
this
 is mostly beneficial, there are
also
 some negative aspects that will
also
 be considered. Beginning with the positive points, the ability to
work
 on assessments and coursework on a computer means that
work
 can be saved safely and transported from place to place. Before the arrival of computers, students traditionally had files and folders with their course notes, and
this
 took up a considerable amount of room and was difficult to keep track of; now, complete lecture notes and much more can be stored on a flash drive that can be easily put in a pocket or bag.
In addition
, lectures and learning material can be made available online, allowing for a multimedia educational environment.
This
 is likely to engage a wider range of students as it has the ability to cater for a wider range of learning styles.
For example
, some students study best by repeatedly listening to a teacher, and
this
 can now be achieved more conveniently by having videos available. On the downside, there are occasions where information stored digitally can be deleted, overwritten or corrupted, all situations that do not occur on traditional paper based
work
. There is
also
 the concern that material can be garnered from the Internet and passed off as the
students
Suggestion
students'
 own
work
, making plagiarism a potential issue.
However
, the concept of plagiarism has long been a problem, and there are computer programs available today that will pinpoint the source of non original
work
. In conclusion,
although
 there are potential disadvantages, they are outweighed by the positives.
