Examples

The examples listed below illustrate the variety of ways teaching materials can be created with current technology. The initial emphasis in these examples is on the exploration of the software/hardware options available to faculty. A more fundamental question for faculty involves the whole area of instructional design. None of the examples address this issue directly, but perhaps they hint at the exciting possibilities that now exist within this new medium to improve teaching and learning. For links to sites that focus on instructional design issues see the CALT locations: Instructional Design, Teaching, and Learning.

On the Teaching, Learning, and Trends pages you will also find links to sites that contain articles evaluating the pros and cons of technology in the learning process. The impact of technology on young children and K-12 education with important implications for teaching and learning at all ages can be found in the book, Failure to Connect: How Computers Affect Our Children's Minds - For Better and Worse, by Jane M. Healy, Simon & Schuster, 1998. See The Impact of Computers on Schools: Two Authors, Two Perspectives by Katie Kashmanian, Technology Source, July/August 2000 for a recent review of this book.
