Instructional technology and transormative education
This document defines and discusses instructional technology. It notes that instructional technology is the design, development, use, management and evaluation of learning processes and resources. It aims to understand how people learn and design instructional systems and materials to facilitate learning. Instructional technologists solve performance problems by designing instructional or non-instructional solutions. The document also lists several types of instructional technologies like flipped classrooms, tablets, smartphones, gamification, online courses, BYOD initiatives, cloud apps and OER. It suggests integrating technology can make learning more engaging, prepare students for the future, improve retention and allow self-paced learning.
Instructional technology and transormative education
- 1. INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY BY EVONNE MWANGALE KIPTINNESS COM 870X
- 2. Instructional Technology It is the theory and practice of design, development, utilization, management and evaluation of processes and resources for learning. (Seels & Richey, 1994) Instructional Design seeks to teach how to plan, develop, evaluate and manage the instructional process effectively to ensure improved performance by learners. Instructional Technology's goal is to understand how people learn and how to best design instructional systems and instructional materials to facilitate that learning. We also use appropriate technology to aid us in the design and delivery of the instruction. Instructional Technologists are problem solvers. They look to understand performance problems and design solutions to those problems. Sometimes the solution is instructional; other times the situation requires a non-instructional solution.
