For a long time, computer support for learning has been justified by its potential for the acceleration and multiplication of learning activities, i.e. learning should be faster and reach more learners. Recently, we have seen integration as a theme and purpose of educational media usage of its own right. We will distinguish and elaborate on two perspectives: (1) the integration of media to support a smooth and seamless information flow in both virtual and face-to-face classroom scenarios, and (2) the use of ICT to bridge between different conditions of learning, such as individual, small group or large community activities as well as synchronous and asynchronous settings.
