TECHNOLOGY AND MEDIA |
Pros
- A multi-tooled environment
stimulates different learning channels (auditory, visual, etc.) and
facilitates different learning styles (see
section on learning theory for more information).
- It is easy to display and
combine text, graphics, sound, video, and animation.
- It is easy to update and
customize text and graphics.
- Materials can be available
for use by students outside the classroom around the clock.
Cons
- Hardware, software and infrastructure
requirements may be steep.
- Technology and software
require time and effort to master. This can be an
impediment for instructors designing a course, and for students, who
may need to spend time mastering the technology or software in addition
to the course materials.
