• Behavioral technology focuses solely on technological tools in classrooms.

What are some characteristics of instructional technology?

• Characteristics of instructional technology include interactivity, adaptability, multimedia integration, collaboration support, and data-driven design.

• Emphasis on individual learning only

• Limited use of technology

• Focus solely on text-based content

In what ways can teaching technology enhance learning outcomes?

• Teaching technology makes learning more difficult and confusing.

• Teaching technology limits student engagement and participation.

• Teaching technology is only beneficial for teachers, not students.

• Teaching technology enhances learning outcomes by making education more interactive, personalized, and accessible.

Explain the role of feedback in behavioral technology.
