Balancing the Learning Equation: Exploring Effective Mixtures of Technology, Teaching, and Learning - Bonnie B. Mullinix and David McCurry, Technology

At present, faculty experience with technology varies widely: Some instructors have been developing Web-enhanced learning environments for quite a while, and others have just joined these ranks. In general, though, technology has come to seem less novel in higher education, and its prevalence has allowed faculty discussions to move beyond discussions of mere availability to more critical issues associated with instructional design. This more focused discussion has the potential to transform learning environments and help us to achieve the promise that technology holds for improving learning. Potential applications of the Internet and the allure of Web-based instruction in particular demand our continued attention.... In what follows, we offer a descriptive matrix of online instruction in order to facilitate discussion among faculty members and to promote experimentation with different formats. We then provide an annotated "webliography" of resources for achieving technology-facilitated learning and contributing to this growing knowledge base.
