Computer-Assisted Learning in Urban Classrooms: The Impact of Politics, Race, and Class.

Hess, Frederick M.; Leal, David L.

Urban Education, v34 n3 p370-88 Sep 1999

Uses data from 54 urban school districts to test hypotheses explaining the integration of computer technology into the classroom. Finds no statistically significant effects of funding on the provision of computer-assisted learning, but a higher percentage of black students reduces the percentage of district students receiving computer-assisted learning.
