Types of instructional Media/Technology

1. Practicality – Is the equipment (hardware) or

already prepared lesson material (software)

available?

If not, what would be the cost in

acquiring the equipment or producing

the lesson in audial or visual form?

Factors for Technology Selection

2. Appropriateness in relation to the

learners – Is the medium suitable

to the learners’ ability to comprehend?

Will the medium be a source of plain

amusement or entertainment, but not

learning?

Factors for Technology Selection

3. Activity / suitability – Will the chosen

media fit the set instructional event,

resulting in either information,

motivation, or psychomotor display?

Factors for Technology Selection

4. Objective-matching – Overall,

does the medium help in

achieving the learning-

objective(s)?

Factors for Technology Selection

Upgrading the quality of

teaching-and-

learning in schools

The Role of Technology in Curriculum Delivery
