How would a paperless class change your role as a teacher?
I'm already there. For students, submission of assignments is always electronic. I loose paper items :( They get lost in the stack.

How would paperless classes change learning? How would you measure learning in a paperless class?

The support for my thinking was stated in the article about the Paperless Class. In the article it was stated that “Studies have shown that the most effective learning takes place when a student develops an emotional attachment to the work,” said Meyer. “If I’m using a program that can stimulate more senses, then the opportunity for emotional involvement is greater. The more they learn, the more it stays with them.” (Retrieved November 8, 2007 from http://www.columbia.edu/cu/record/archives/vol26/vol26_iss10/2610_Paperless_Course.html ).
This thought promotes the aspect of teaching that we cannot forget about any learning whether face to face or online...it's mandatory to include to the best of your ability multisensory teaching tools to connect to all of our students.


Would a paperless space make it easier or harder to build a learning network? Why?
It's all in what you are used to and hopefully one would employ Quality Matters standards in their creation of an online learning environment.
