Selecting course technology based on simple learning science objectives

Presenter(s): 
Aaron Dewald, University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law

With more and more technology choices available to faculty, the reasoning behind selection of a particular technology to be used in a learning environment must be sound.  Unfortunately, as technologists, we are more versed in the technology rather than the learning application. Knowing just a few simple learning science concepts can help frame your technology recommendations to faculty.  I aim to offer a practical implementation of Bloom's Taxonomy for technologists to help assist future implementations. Specifically, I aim to:

  • Cover a simple structure of learning science called Bloom's Taxonomy
  • Talk about "shiny object syndrome", an affliction many technologists have
  • Offer three practical examples of learning objectives influencing technology selection
