Foundations of Educational Technology

A Representative Educational Technology Challenge
A large educational organization that offers online courses and provides online support for courses and projects is considering changing its learning management system (LMS).

Questions to consider include the following:
1. Which LMS is the best for the organization and its constituency in terms of learning effectiveness?
2. Which LMS is the most affordable for the organization to acquire and maintain?
3. What issues exist or are likely to arise with regard to support, acceptance, and use?
4. How and when will existing courses, support materials, and projects be migrated to the new system?
5. Who will train staff (and when and how) with regard to effective and efficient use of the new system?

Learning Activities

1. Develop a plan that addresses the first three issues in the representative educational technology challenge. Share the plan with your colleagues and ask them to provide a critique; critique one or more of their plans in exchange for the feedback.

2. Develop a plan that addresses the last two issues in the representative educational technology challenge. Share the plan with your colleagues and ask them to provide a critique; critique one or more of their plans in exchange for the feedback.

3. Investigate several Internet sources pertaining to educational technology and develop a list of activities and responsibilities typically associated with instructional designers and educational technologists. Indicate the knowledge and skills associated with these activities and responsibilities. Share your findings with your colleagues and ask them to provide a critique; critique one or more of their findings in exchange for the feedback.

Comparing Software

You will choose TWO of the three to compare – in EACH of the FOUR categories.
For this assignment, you are to research specific software.
You can use YouTube, websites, research articles… just about anything but not word of mouth… to gather your information.

If you compare price (and you should) be sure to compare educational prices, not retail prices.
Consider HOW an educator might use the software.
Does it appear to be difficult to learn or tedious to work with?
Would the design appeal to students? If so, what ages?
Would this software be beneficial to students with disabilities? If so, how?
What advantages does your #1 rated have over the other software in that category?
You have four different categories. Research and explore each software in each category – then determine your #1 ranked in each category. Write up a rationale for your selection in each category.

Categories and software:
1. Articulate Storyline, Articulate Replay, Camtasia, Lectora
2. CourseSites (by Blackboard), Moodle, Google Classroom)
3. Zoom, Skype, GoToMeeting
4. Quizlet, Questionmark, Kahoot!
