• smartphones

How can instructional technology enhance learning outcomes?

• Instructional technology leads to decreased student engagement

• Instructional technology enhances learning outcomes by providing interactive and engaging learning experiences, personalized learning paths, immediate feedback, access to a wide range of resources and materials, and opportunities for collaboration and communication.

• Instructional technology has no impact on learning outcomes

• Instructional technology only benefits students with high academic abilities

Explain the concept of blended learning in instructional technology.

• Blended learning involves using virtual reality exclusively for educational purposes.

• Blended learning combines traditional teaching methods with online learning activities to improve the overall educational experience.

• Blended learning refers to a teaching approach that combines music and art in the classroom.

• Blended learning is a method that only focuses on in-person teaching without any online components.

What are the benefits of using multimedia in instructional technology?

• Homogeneous learning experience

• Decreased student engagement

• The benefits of using multimedia in instructional technology include enhanced engagement, improved retention, catering to different learning styles, providing real-world examples, and making learning interactive and enjoyable.

• Limited retention of information

Discuss the role of Learning Management Systems (LMS) in instructional technology.

• Learning Management Systems (LMS) are only used for student enrollment

• Learning Management Systems (LMS) are primarily used for social media integration
