Instructional technologies are tools used to create, deliver and access content, as well as provide a means for interaction. As you consider which technologies to use, think about if and how using the technologies will support your learning goals and help students achieve learning outcomes. Also consider how supported and established the technologies are, including if and how they are supported by campus, and the potential learning curve for your and your students.
