Knowra Educational technology Educational technology Educational technology is the use of digital tools and systems to support teaching and learning. It includes technologies for delivering instruction, creating learning activities, and assessing progress.
Learning management system : Software for organizing course materials, activities, communication, and learner progress. It provides the online course hub where teachers distribute materials and coordinate learning.
Learning analytics : The collection and analysis of data about learners and learning environments. Platforms use activity data to identify participation patterns and inform instructional decisions.
Blended learning : An instructional approach that combines in-person teaching with online learning activities. It differs from fully digital instruction by deliberately combining online and classroom experiences.
Universal design for learning : A framework for designing flexible learning environments that accommodate varied learner needs. Digital materials can offer multiple ways to access information, express learning, and engage.
Massive open online course : An online course designed for large-scale participation, often with open enrollment. It extends course delivery beyond the limits of a classroom or institution.
Adaptive learning : Instruction that adjusts content, sequence, or difficulty in response to learner performance. Adaptive systems personalize the next task using evidence from earlier responses.
Distance education : Education in which teachers and learners are separated by location, often using communication technologies. It describes a mode of education that educational technology can enable, not the technology itself.
Educational data privacy : The protection and responsible handling of personal data collected in educational settings. Learning platforms collect sensitive information that requires clear limits and safeguards.
Intelligent tutoring system : Software that models learner knowledge and provides individualized instruction or feedback. It adapts guidance to a learner’s responses rather than presenting identical instruction to all.
Retrieval practice : A learning strategy that strengthens memory by requiring recall of previously studied information. Digital quizzes can make repeated recall practical and provide immediate feedback.
