Choosing the Best Technology - An eLearning Technology Compass

Choosing the Best Technology - An eLearning Technology Compass | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
Beth Dichter's insight:

This eLearning Technology Compass provides another way to help you choose technology tools. Working from the inner circle towards the outer circle you will find

* Goals

* Competencies

* Performance Assessments

* Ring of Technologies

Under this visual you will also find a detailed table that lists:

* Desired Competencies

* Rationale

* Related Activities

* Potential Technologies

And the site also provides tutorials on many of the tools.

This is like a one stop shop that will help you find great tools to help students grow skills in the desired competencies.

Becky Roehrs's curator insight, December 9, 2014 2:48 PM

This eLearning Technology Compass is based on a matrix that helps instructors meet their learning outcomes by choosing the right tech tool for the job.
