Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D
Access, interface, and cost are the most common reasons for not participating in or using this sort of technology in a course. Typically, cost is related to creation of a location in the virtual world. Interface is using a keyboard, mouse, and microphone to interact, and access relates to bandwidth available to the user.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D
Microsoft Word and Blackboard are both excellent tools for recording reflective journals for students and allow for ease of access to faculty. The functionality of Microsoft Excel makes this a poor choice for journaling, and the character limit of Twitter makes reflective journaling impossible.
