Measurement Methods Used: ISTE’s proposal, “Research and Evaluation Planning”, will be used to measure the impact we expect the implementation of the project to generate.

Austral University has always lived up

to the ideal of the pursuit of excellence.

Our engineering students belong to the generation who will design and implement the

innovations that will impact directly on society improving

global quality of life. Therefore, HP´s digital classroom will bring

about not only a significant quality enhancement of

our present but also of

our future.

Technology supplies provided by HP will

be used as a:

communicative

instrumental

pedagogic

Motivating

innovativedidactic

tool and resource for all those taking part

in the project.

Dreaming that the impossible is possible

in education and making it happen through academic excellence and

hand in hand with technology is,

no doubt, leading change.
