Overview
"Instructional technology" refers to any tools used to enhance
the educational process. Instructional technologies are often used in distance
education, but can also be used in face-to-face courses.
To be considered worthwhile, instructional technologies need to do one or
more of the following:
- help students learn
- increase student access to courses and course materials
- save faculty time
Tehcnologies need not be complicated or "flashy" to be beneficial;
in fact, some of the best instructional technologies are very simple.
This web site lists several proven instructional technologies (listed to
