    Study Notes

    Technology as Curriculum

    • Adults can learn about technology itself and develop skills to use it competently (Merriam and Brockett, 1997).
    • The "Exploring the Internet" course is an example of the technology as curriculum approach, offering a 10-hour, noncredit evening course to teach adults Internet applications such as e-mail and the Web (Cahoon, 1998).
    • Benefits of this approach include:
      • Clear and structured learning of technology aspects
      • No distraction from peripheral learning issues or goals
      • Efficient acquisition of discrete technology skills applicable in different settings
    • Limitations of this approach include:
      • Narrow focus on technology and skills, potentially limiting transfer and application of skills in meaningful ways
      • Skills may deteriorate if not practiced regularly (Ginsburg, 1998)
