Information technology can also be used for communication and for information retrieval. In the teacher-centered model, resources are used for presentations of supplementary or primary material in the classroom as described in some examples in Chapter 2.
In the student-centered model, instructional resources can be used for tutorials, problem solving, discovery, and review. Instructional resources usually fall into one of two categories: student-centered and teacher-centered. Another possibility is to reduce the pace of the class session, by pausing periodically to invite questions. One way to avoid this is to intersperse activities which assess student understanding and encourage reflection and critical thinking.
The rapid-fire presentations combined with audiovisual overload can tempt students to remain intellectually passive. Carefully planned and prepared instructional resources sometimes tempt instructors to race ahead and to cover more. At the same time, there remains a major role for student use of textbooks and for instructional use of demonstrations, films, videos, slides, and overhead transparencies.Ĭarefully scripted presentations and activities run the risk of emphasizing teacher delivery rather than student learning. In addition, the ease of electronic communications between an instructor and students, and among students, provides new opportunities for sharing questions, answers, and discussions during a course. The tremendous increases in rates of information transfer, access to the Internet, and posting of materials on the World Wide Web give instructors and students an almost limitless supply of resource material. The speed of personal computers and the ease of authoring systems permit instructors to design and customize computer-based audiovisual presentations and to develop computer-based assignments for their students. There are many pressures for educators to match the audiovisual stimuli of television, computers, and electronic games with which students are experienced.
