EDT 616 - New Directions for Educational Technology

This is a discussion and project-based seminar that explores how emerging technologies create new opportunities for learning and teaching. How do emerging technologies become instructional technologies that can aid learning and teaching, broadly defined? This course will explore the history of emerging technologies in education, from the advent of radio in the 1920s to the emergence of the world wide web, and use that history to examine the frontier of instructional technology. We will assess trends in displaying,representing, and interacting with information, and imagine how emerging technologies will create new opportunities for learning and teaching.
