Instructional Tools Evaluation

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.
