Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Electronic
devices are becoming increasingly common in educational environments. The term
most commonly used for such devices is "educational technology". This
is not actually a new idea, as the rewritable wax tablets, often with lined
surfaces to guide novice writers used in antiquity or the blackboard itself are
both instances of technological
innovations to support pedagogy.
There are many
different ways in which electronic devices are used in education. For example,
students in STEM (science, technology, engineering medicine) fields have been
making extensive use of
sophisticated calculators for many years (the abacus and slide rule were
non-electronic predecessors to calculators).
In humanities
as well as sciences, students use computers or equivalent devices to do
research and write papers.
In all fields,
courses are now likely to have websites, and many instructors use course
management software such as Blackboard, to post information for students,
record grades, set up online discussions, and check for plagiarism.
In lecture
classes, many instructors project slides or notes on a screen and may even
upload lecture notes so that students can review them. Some courses are hybrid,
meaning that they have a strong
online component, or offered entirely online. Many courses taught in
conventional lecture halls are streamed online, and may use devices such as
clickers to become more interactive.
Any device
(including tablets or cell phones) that instructors incorporate into a learning
environment functions as educational technology.
