Teachers think of education as a more or less personal relationship between them and their students.

The cost of schooling will go up which may mean that it can be offered to fewer people so access goes down. Our general point is that if you try to improve one side of this triangle your action usually changes the other two sides in undesirable ways. For this reason we refer to it as the iron triangle. It has been a straitjacket on the expansion of education throughout history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The revolutionary feature of educational technology in general \u2013 and of open and distance learning and ICTs in particular \u2013 is that it can break open the iron triangle. You can increase access, improve quality and cut costs \u2013 all at the same time. This is because of the economies of scale and consistency of quality that come with using media. That is the big miracle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniel, J., West, P., &amp; Mackintosh, W. (2007).
