Learning technology is the systematic application of a body of
knowledge to the design, implementation, management, and evaluation of
teaching and learning. The body of knowledge, the fruit of research and
practice, is based on principles of learning theory, instructional
design and change management, but is grounded in an understanding of
the underlying technologies and their capabilities. Thus:
learning technology is the use of a broad range of communication,
information, and related technologies to support learning and teaching;
learning technologists apply, or support learning technology
in practice, and/or undertake research relating to learning technology.
