Scenarios
Technology
is shaping the future of education and will
impact on teaching and learning. Computers
are getting smaller, more powerful, and more
useful as teaching and learning tools with
the addition of voice recognition and two way
wireless connections to both the Internet and
to campus servers. The articles that are referenced
below will stimulate your thinking about the
future role of learning support centers and
help you understand why learning support professionals
need to develop both an understanding of technology
and the technological competencies to be a
part of teaching and learning support as it
evolves.
