<p>In developing a course, the use of technology can be an asset.&nbsp; The key to evaluating the effectiveness of technology is to continue to monitor feedback from students to see if it is accomplishing what you originally intended it to do.&nbsp; If it is not don't continue to use it in its current mode.&nbsp; Be willing to either make adjustments to improve the effectiveness or abandon the use of that technology.&nbsp; It is more important to have a successful outcome for the student than to hang onto "technology" for technology sake.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
