Instructional Technology

Educational technology provides instructional enrichment possibilities if used appropriately and inventively. Educational technology tools work well if they solve an instructional problem or confer a benefit-they don't magically make things more engaging by themselves.

However, if they can make faculty-student and student-to-student interaction and collaboration easier or more accessible, for example, then educational technology tools can improve the educational experience for all involved.
