From the Paper:

"It is also critical in a learner-centered environment that students are provided with choices regarding assignments and the manner in which they perform and deliver assignments; this again reflects on the notion that students have many different learning styles, thus what works for one student may not be optimal for all students. In this case, students may be provided the option of delivering assignments via the web or written using computer based software programs. This is a simple and effective way to introduce technology into the classroom in a non-opposing or forceful manner. The computer can be used as one method of adapting to different learning and delivery styles."
