Here is a link to a very interesting project in the teaching of undergraduate physics (SCALE-UP). This demonstrates how pedagogy, classroom design and ICT can be combined to improve outcomes.
I feel that it is the pedagogy that drives the other elements (which is perhaps what was lacking from the study by Dynarsky et al (2007) in Week 11 which showed no positive results from ICT introduction).
One positive outcome from the eTMA - it has encouraged me to review not only the Course material but also the interesting stuff I found along the way.
