In the final project I am confident that these aims have been achieved. Whilst some concessions have had to be made in undertaking the project due to the limitations of time (identified within the project), all of the minimum objectives have been met: * Research the history of computer-based learning * Investigate the existence and availability of historic digital learning tools * Understand how and why digital learning tools have come to be lost and how this can be ...
