Information Technology and Andragogy: Making them work together

Information Technology,Andragogy, Critical Thinking

Information technology is such a powerful tool there is danger that we will unwittingly distort our teaching to fit its strengths rather than use it to enhance our teaching effectiveness. It is important to evaluate technology for its impact on educational goals. A set of evaluation criteria will be presented based on the goal of teaching students to think critically about organizational behavior. The methods of andragogy are used as a guide to best practices to achieve this goal. Examples of class room practice will be presented followed by an interactive session to develop and exchange new ideas.
