I have learned that technology plays a major role in any instructional delivery. Instructional delivery deals with face to face interaction and instruction. Instead of that learning being face to face it is advanced with the use of technology. Most common use of this technology would be the computer. Where the computer will provide the resources and the delivery is distant learning away from the traditional classroom setting.
I have also learned that it is more flexible with technology in the instructional delivery. Take for example an individual who works, one will not be limited to a classroom schedule. That individual will have the flexibility to access the same class with the same materials in the comfort of that individual’s home. Or an individual who is disabled and can not move around freely. This individual will still receive the same educational instruction through the use of technology. There is also more interaction from the learner and the learner is forced to be more critical in one’s thinking.
With the use of technology in the instructional learning, the learner must have some computer skills to understand and complete the task. Use of technology can also aide in drills, simulation and problem solving. As for the instructor there would be little use for the traditional chalkboard and chalk. With the computer the instructor could relay the same message or materials at the same time to all the students. Instruction can be given in the classroom and then followed up with instructional activities online with the use of technology. Technology can also help with tools that will assist the students further in the learning process. New skills learned could be reinforced with the use of technology.
Technology can also help with learning on the instructor’s behalf. For example a learner who may not be fluent in a language can use technology and have that same material translated in that individual’s language completed by the individual and then translated back into the language that it was originally given. Students of this generation are heavily involved with technology and the use of technology in the instructional delivery can close that gap. It can also help students to communicate away from the classroom setting. Technology has and is changing the way things are being done including the area of instructional delivery.
