Educational technology is defined as a systematic process of applying scientific knowledge to improve learning and instruction. It can be applied in both formal and non-formal education. In formal education, technologies like visual aids, computers, and the internet are used. These include projectors, smart boards, and classroom computers. In non-formal settings, computer-assisted learning, digital learning resources on the web, computer-mediated communication tools, and computer-aided assessment are applied using technologies like email and videoconferencing. The most effective approach integrates these various educational technologies to enhance the learning process.

- 1. Educational Technology and Its Application in Formal and Non-formal EducationEducational and Instructional technologyAssignment Submitted on1/28/2011Submitted By K. Anand
- 2. DefinitionEducational technology defined as “a systematic way a process or an application of the scientific knowledge, to improve the efficiency of the process of learning and instruction. It is thus considered to be the technology of education more than the technology in education.”
- 4. Formal educationThe hierarchically structured, chronologically graded 'education system', running from primary school through the university and including, in addition to general academic studies, a variety of specialized programmes and institutions for full-time technical and professional training.

- 16. Non-formal educationAny organized educational activity outside the established formal system - whether operating separately or as an important feature of some broader activity - that is intended to serve identifiable learning clienteles and learning objectives.
- 17. Informal educationThe truly lifelong process whereby every individual acquires attitudes, values, skills and knowledge from daily experience and the educative influences and resources in his or her environment - from family and neighbors, from work and play, from the market place, the library and the mass media.
- 18. Application of Educational technology in the Non-Formal and Informal EducationComputer Assisted Learning (CAL) The term Computer Assisted Learning (CAL) covers a range of computer-based packages, which aim to provide interactive instruction usually in a specific subject area, and many predate the Internet. These can range from sophisticated and expensive commercial packages to applications developed by projects in other educational institutions or national initiatives to simple solutions developed by individuals with no funding or support to tackle a very local problem.
- 19. Application continue…Introduction to Internet Technologies (Web technologies)a. Digital Learning Resources This could range from simply placing Word documents on the Web for your students to download and print or making your PowerPoint presentations available after a lecture to creating Web pages that make better use of the media to streamed digital video and simple interactive CAL-like programs.
- 20. b. Computer Mediated Communication (CMC)Email
- 21. Mailing lists
- 22. Hybrid systems
- 23. Usenet
- 24. Internet Relay Chat (IRC)
- 26. Computer conferencing CMC can include any means by which individuals and groups use the Internet to 'talk' to each other.CMC can either be synchronous (exchanges take place in 'real time') or asynchronous (messages are posted up at any time, and read and responded to by other users also at times which suit them;
- 27. C. Computer Aided Assessment (CAA) Without human feedback or very sophisticated artificial intelligence, this usually means some form of objective test delivered as an online quiz. Because it is objective and the possible responses are known, the feedback can also be automated. Students can therefore receive immediate feedback. This use of CAA for self-diagnosis / formative assessment can be quick to set up and if used wisely can provide valuable feedback on the effectiveness of the course to the course tutor.
- 28. Application continue…Integrating Educational Technologies While each of these technologies has its strengths and weaknesses, it is when they are combined that we start to see their true potential. This was one of the driving forces behind the arrival of Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) although it has to be said that few of the commercial products make serious efforts to enable this, focusing more on the administration of learning rather than on the learning itself
- 29. Application continue…Classroom eLearning Technologies The changes have not all been happening on the Internet or with students sitting in computer labs using CAL packages. Out in the classrooms and lecture theatres, data projectors have being introduced and packages like PowerPoint are being used to present directly through a computer rather than to create and print overhead projector transparencies.
