This course provides an overview of Educational technology (ET) (which many people refer to as “instructional technology” (or just “Educational Technology”) and more recently, some might refer to “learning technology” and “digital technology”). Given that many education students come from diverse fields and backgrounds, TECH3006 provides a sense of history and an explanation of how the components of instructional technology, educational technology, learning technology, and other associated fields all fit together. The course has been designed to focus primarily on ET. An introduction to IT includes definitions, theories, histories, trends and issues, and career opportunities. Class discussions and activities will be devoted to broadening your understanding of these fields as they relate to learning and performance in diverse organizations and institutions (e.g., schools, colleges and universities) as well as in more self-directed pursuits.
