What do educational technology specialists do? We meet with customers, colleagues and teachers to help them identify the goals of their training. We demonstrate available technology that can help them achieve their instructional goals. We then design activities and resources aligning it with learning objectives. We help deploy tech tools and show effective practices in using them.

What is instructional technology? Instructional technology refers to systematic design, development and evaluation of the processes and resources for learning. Think pedagogical engineering, the art of implementing a design rule in learning. It is used to improve educational and training systems in organizational settings, school systems and universities through the application of research and best practices from instructional technology.

We believe that instructional technology is much more than hardware and computer software development. Instructional technologies also encompass the instructional design process, which includes analysis, design, development, evaluation and implementation of instructional systems and other learning environments.
