Educational technology is defined as the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning and improving performance through creating, using, and managing appropriate technological processes and resources. It uses technology to support the learning process. There are different types of educational technology, including synchronous and asynchronous learning, linear and collaborative learning, blended learning, and digital learning. Key components are using appropriate tools to engage senses, enhance teaching, improve outcomes, and consider implementation. Advantages include improved engagement, knowledge retention, and access to information, while disadvantages include potential distractions, access issues, verification of online content, and costs.

41. Educational technology is
the use of all human
inventions & discoveries to
satisfy the educational
needs & desire for learning
using of technology to
support the learning
process.

42. What is the difference between
Educational Technology and Instructional
Technology?
Instructional Technology is the process of
using technology for learning, it is the tool
while Educational Technology is the
procedure for using that tool.

44. TYPES OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY

45. 1. SYNCHRONOUS VS ASYNCHRONOUS
• Synchronous learning is occurs real time, an
example of which is instructor-led learning.
Synchronous learning, the exchange of ideas
and information amongst learners happens
during the same time.
• Asynchronous learning is self-paced and allows
the learners to interact and engage without
being dependent on the other learners’
participation at the same time.

46. • SYNCHRONOUS
• Learning the same
thing at the same time
• face-to-face
instruction, chat
rooms, webinars, etc
where learners are
working
collaboratively and
have synchronized
learning.
• ASYNCHRONOUS
• Learning the same thing
at different times
• email, blogs, wіkis, and
discussion boards, as well
as web-supported
textbooks, hypertext
documents, audio, video
courses, and social
networking sites, and
online courses that
learners take at their own
pace.

47. 2. LINEAR LEARNING
• Linear learning is when information is given in a linear
and static manner, such as reading a book or
computer-based training (CBT). CBT can include videos,
animations, and audio clips to enhance the learning
experience.
• It typically has assessments at the end of the course to
help determine the learner’s understanding of the
topics discussed.
• The assessments are those that can be recognized and
graded immediately by a computer such as multiple
choice, or true or false questions.

48. • Linear learning is most common to
Westerners'. Students start at the
“beginning” of a subject & learn concepts in
“steps”. Progress in linear learning is usually
measured by how many “steps” or modules
the student completes

49. 3. COLLABORATIVE LEARNING
• Computer-supported collaborative learning
(CSCL) uses instructional methods designed to
encourage or require students to work
together on learning tasks.
• Web 2.0 social tools in the classroom allows
learners and teachers to work collaboratively,
discuss ideas, and share information.

50. What Instructional Technology can be
utilized in Collaborative Learning?

51. What is Blended Learning
• a style of education in which students
learn via electronic and online media as
well as traditional face-to-face teaching.
Hybrid education uses online technology
to not just supplement, but transform
and improve the learning process.

52. The power of blended learning methods lies in
the ability to improve the student experience. It
combines the best aspects of face-to-face teaching
& online instruction in ways that enables students
to learn at their own pace. For example, a student in
a blended learning course who masters a concept
earlier than his peers can move on without having
to wait, & conversely, a student who needs more
time is not forced to move forward before fully
grasping the subject. It is proving to be a scalable
learning model that simply works for diverse
populations of students.

53. What is Digital Learning
• It is a learning method based on the use of
new digital tools to enable learners to learn in
a different way, whether it be face-to-face,
distance learning (asynchronous or
synchronous) or blended learning. It is
therefore not simply a question of digitizing
educational content but of a set of
educational methods.

54. • Digital learning is any kind of
learning that employs
technology. It is part of the
everyday life of students,
often in the form of
• Social media
• Multimedia
• Online games
• Mobile phones

55. • When we refer to digital learning, what we mean is the
process of being a participant of a teaching of any topic
through the use of technology and most of the time
using the internet. Digital learning can take form in a
blog, a video, a real-time lecture or seminar or even
just an audio file.
• Digital learning will include at least one piece of
technology such as a computer, laptop or mobile
phone. It's also often synonymous with distant learning
which refers to those studying away from a school,
college or university. The Open University is a great
example of distance learning and if all the lessons are
completed using technology, then this would also be
considered digital learning.

56. • Digital learning has some amazing advantages!
Two of the most notable advantages is the
opportunity for people to study the same content
that others have without having to be present in
a location or signing up for a full course that can
cost a lot of money. It often eliminates the need
for people to travel as they can access their
studying material from wherever they are
regardless of location.
• Digital learning also means that the people who
are enrolled in digital learning courses and
education must have some level of digital literacy
for them to be able to complete their studies
successfully.

57. Key Components of
Educational Technology
1. Appropriate tools,
techniques or process
• The use of appropriate
tools, techniques or
process is much more
likely to result in the
outcomes that educators
want to achieve.

59. 2. Facilitate the Application of Senses,
Memory, and Cognition
• Using different media and different
technology to engage the different
senses makes the learning experience
more effective.
Examples using videos or internet game based

61. 3. Enhance Teaching Practices
• Technology should also provide
assistance and support to instructors
during the teaching and learning
process. The use of technology should
enhance the manner by which teachers
instruct, mentor, collaborate and engage
with their learners.

63. 4. Improve Learning Outcomes
• If no improvements are made with
the adoption of new technology,
then there is no point utilizing any
technology.

65. 5. Consider Implementation
• Implementation should be “considered”
means additionally that there is an
assessment loop built into the process it
effectiveness of the technology used
must be assessed in order for the
effective technology to be repeated and
the ineffective technology to be
discarded.

67. Advantages of Educational Technology
1. Improves engagement
2. Improves knowledge retention
3. Encourages individual learning
4. Encourages collaboration
5. Time efficient
