An ideal technology-enhanced learning experience follows a constructivist pedagogy, which provides authentic learning opportunities and assessments for the learners. From the outset, technology is integral to the program so that there is a natural inclusion and progression of development. As it is learner-centered, the educator instead becomes a facilitator and designer, selecting appropriate technologies to develop students’ technical and cognitive skills, including communication, inquiry, and exploration of scientific processes and concepts. Specific components would include:
- An LMS such as Moodle to facilitate asynchronous communication, organization, and a blended learning approach
- Interactive whiteboards in the classroom for multi-sensory learning and interaction
- Personal laptops to provide consistent access to information and permit the flexible use of classroom space
