• For instance, two programs may resemble each other structurally, but if one costs less to run, is more accessible in terms of time, has a greater degree of real‐time interaction, presupposes less familiarity with computers by users, and can be afforded by any school, then all those diverse characteristics will strongly influence, if not improve as well, the behaviour of the system, and the communicational model it reflects
