Technology and Online Learning
Technology used for learning is safe, accessible, supported, curated, and purposeful. Instructors are supported as they use technology to foster digital citizenship, build transferrable digital skills, and maximize learner choice and autonomy. Technology is used to encourage learners to explore and create language, as well as to use language to explore ideas, solve problems, develop new skills, and negotiate and communicate with an expanded audience. Online courses follow pedagogically sound principles for instructional design, are well structured and appealing, and have a strong instructor presence.
