This document discusses the role of technology in delivering curriculum. It outlines different types of instructional media, including projected media like films and videos, and non-projected media like models and printed materials. It also describes factors to consider when selecting technologies, such as practicality, appropriateness for learners, activity suitability, and matching objectives. Finally, it states that technology can upgrade teaching and learning quality, increase teacher and student capabilities, and broaden education delivery through approaches like open universities and lifelong learning.

1. The Role of Technology
in Delivering the
Curriculum

2. Types of instructional media/technology
Non-projected Media Projected Media
Real objects Overhead transparencies
Models Opaque projection
Field trips Slides
Kits Filmstrips
Printed materials (books, Films
worksheets) Video, VCD, DVD
Visuals (drawings, Computer/multimedia
photographs, graphs, presentations
charts, posters)
Visual boards (chalkboard,
whiteboard, flannel
board, etc.)
Audio materials

3. Factors for Technology Selection
1. Practicality – Is the equipment
(hardware) or already prepared
lesson material (software) available?
If not, what would be the cost in
acquiring the equipment or producing
the lesson in audial or visual form?

4. 2. Appropriateness in relation to the
learners – Is the medium suitable
to the learners’ ability to comprehend?
Will the medium be a source of plain
amusement or entertainment, but not
learning?

5. 3. Activity / suitability – Will the chosen
media fit the set instructional event,
resulting in either information,
motivation, or psychomotor display?

6. 4. Objective-matching – Overall, does
the medium help in achieving the
learning-objective(s)?

7. The Role of Technology in Curriculum
Delivery
 Upgrading the quality of teaching-and-
learning in schools

8. Increasing the capability of the teacher
to effectively inculcate learning, and for
students to gain mastery of lessons
and courses

9.  Broadening the delivery of education
outside schools through non-traditional
approaches to formal and informal
learning, such as Open Universities and
lifelong learning to adult learners

10.  Revolutionizing the use of technology to
boost educational paradigm shifts that
give importance to student-centered
and holistic learning
