The term “educational technology” encompasses the many ways that technology can be used to facilitate or enhance the educational process.

It is clear that new technologies have an increasingly important role to play in the teaching and learning process. The availability of new tools, such as Moodle & LEA presents many clear and exciting advantages for both teachers and students. Yet, they can also pose considerable challenges.

The OAD recognizes these challenges, and promotes the effective and creative use of technology in education, by providing teachers with individual or group support in each of the following areas:

• Help in mastering basic computer technology;
• Getting started with Moodle;
• Advanced uses of Moodle as a pedagogical tool;
• Special departmental strategies involving Moodle;
• Introduction to new technologies (e.g. Wikis, Podcasting, Multimedia);
• Pedagogical strategies involving educational technology;
• Special project support.
