Keeping learning central: a model for implementing emerging technologies

Abstract

Felt problem: Technology integration continues to be a challenge for health science faculty. While students expect emerging technologies to be used in the classroom, faculty members desire a strategic process to incorporate technology for the students’ benefit. Our solution: We have developed a model that provides faculty a strategy for integrating emerging technologies into the classroom. The model is grounded in student learning and may be applied to any technology. We present the model alongside examples from faculty who have used it to incorporate technology into their health sciences classrooms. Keywords: technology integration; emerging technologies (Published: 15 January 2010) Citation: Medical Education Online 2010, 15: 4275 - DOI: 10.3402/meo.v15i0.4275
