Technology can make or break an online course. The right technology can inspire and assist different types of learners. By focusing on a few key elements of course technology, educators can learn how they can help ensure their course is up to par. These elements include key standards of the Quality Matters rubric surrounding course tools, navigation, access and currency of technology used in a course. This deck is from the fourth installation of our Best Practices in Online Course Design webinar series by SoftChalk and Quality Matters to get a better understanding of these elements as well learn about several useful web tools you can use to enhance learning and engagement.
