1.4. Impacts

The positive impacts for the Electronic Classroom tool are an increase in efficiency. The instructor should have a cleaner and more customizable lecturing experience because of the tool. Less time spent building lectures means the lecturer can commit more time to other activities. Also, there is no use of paper, so the Electronic Classroom is green. Another benefit is the ability for students to access lecture both from outside of class and after the lecture. This allows students to have a more flexible schedule.

The negative impacts include limited access. Access is limited because students are required to use a computer or be in a computer lab. There's also the potential for technical issues to hinder use based on the reliability of the software. If the program crashes then the lecture cannot happen.
