	CEUTT - Current Issues & Future Prospects
		The absence of evidence on costs here mirrors the state of the current literature: there is a general lack of information available about the costs of using instructional technology and, by contrast, a wealth of reports evaluating teaching effectiveness and student and instructor attitudes.

		One resolution to this problem is for faculty to concentrate on the deployment of instructional technologies, and leave issues of measuring cost-effectiveness to administrators and institutional researchers who have the requisite knowledge and interest.
