Summary. Three Canadian technology projects in rural schools—video conferencing, web-based distance education, and laptop computers—show that technology-driven curriculum innovations succeed when schools provide consistent, extensive support for teachers and students. Implementation challenges and successes reveal that effective distance education requires process-driven approaches that address both opportunity and strain on teaching and learning.
