If homework assignments that require the use of a computer are given to students, should they be penalized for what their family cannot afford? In this case study, Mrs. Lincoln, who developed her course using a web-based course management system named Moodle, spent time working on her Moodle pages and posting assignments. She then explained to students how the site worked. She also spent a week in the computer lab training her students to become proficient using the Moodle application. After a couple of weeks, Mrs. Lincoln noticed that a quarter of her students were not completing their Moodle based assignments.

Typically, school teachers may hear the "dog at e my homework" excuse, but with the introduction of more technologies, specifically laptops, into the classroom this excuse may be replaced with: "But it wasn't on WebCT!!!" I heard this first at Trinity College School (TCS), a co-educational boarding and day school (Grades 5-12) located in Port Hope, Ontario. The school has a unique and innovative laptop program. All Senior School students (Grades 9-12) have a personal laptop and bring it to class everyday. Course information is stored in a web-based course management system called WebCT.
