Each of these models has its own set of advantages. The model that an instructor chooses could be based on the desired outcome and level of a class' learned autonomy. These models must be modeled, practiced and repeated until students own the learning. The facilitator slowly releases control to students (building agency).
Note: Technology should only be used where it enhances that learning.
