LTS regularly reviews emerging educational technologies. Our key considerations include:
Meeting teaching goals: How well does the technology support effective instruction?
Usability: Is the technology easy for instructors and students to use?
Accessibility: Can all users access and benefit from the technology?
Support: Are resources available to help instructors and students use the technology successfully?
Redundancy: Do we already fund and support a tool that performs the same or similar functions?
Privacy and Security: Is the tool FERPA compliant and is our data secure?
Value: Is the technology worth the cost?
We test, review, gather feedback from faculty and students, and make recommendations about which technologies to adopt on a wider scale based on this research.
LTS strives to provide up-to-date and effective technologies to improve the learning experience and support student learning outcomes.
