Study Notes

Introduction to Educational Technology in Nursing

Educational technology refers to the use of a wide array of teaching and learning software and hardware in college and university classrooms.
The ultimate goal of educational technology is to enable an improved learning environment, which boosts student outcomes, increases student engagement, and participation in class.

Definition of Educational Technology

Educational technology is the systematic application of technology in the field of education.

Ways of Educational Technology

Creating dynamic textbooks with custom case studies related to current headlines.
Gamification, where games and activities are imported into class lessons to reinforce concepts in a fun way.
Using audio-visual aids or hardware in education.
Three Dimension (3D) and sensory platforms including augmented reality, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence.

Principles of Educational Technology

Good teaching matters, and bad teaching cannot be overcome by technology.
Educational technologies are flexible and interchangeable in education and training.
There is no 'super-technology', and all technologies have their strengths and weaknesses.
All four media (print, audio, television, and computers) should be made available to teachers and learners.
Balance variety with economy, and limit the number of technologies used to avoid complexity and redundancy.
Interaction is essential for effective learning, and can be provided through appropriate technologies.
Student numbers are critical in technology selection, and teachers need training to use technologies effectively.
