After reviewing the affordances of media in educational technology, it is time to apply the concepts to an existing course or unit of study that could be enhanced with educational technology. As previously discussed, selection of potential technology and media begins with learner outcomes and needs.
The course I've chosen for enhancement is offered in a one-day classroom session, but the content will be applied within the learners’ personal contexts outside of the classroom. Organizational policy limits technology within the classroom setting and the one-day format makes meeting each learner’s specific learning needs challenging. At the same time, there are valuable affordances provided by face-to-face delivery that preclude eliminating classroom delivery entirely. Therefore, outcomes to address with the enhancement of technology include facilitating a way for the learners to continue their learning journeys beyond the classroom, and into their own contexts, while having access to strategy collaboration and social support that would help them meet their personal needs. The promotion of lifelong learning and organizational considerations are steering the use of technology outside the classroom. For that reason, mobile learning and social media are the leading technologies I'll explore to enhance learning within the course.
