 Five (5) Domains of Educational
Technology
1. Design – the planning phase.
2. Development – process of producing learning
materials from a detailed plan.
3. Utilization – the actual use of knowledge and skills.
4. Evaluation – a dynamic process which allows people
to obtain data.
5. Management – the linchpin which binds all the
domains of educational technology together.
 Different Learning Styles
• Visual-Spatial – think in terms of physical space, as do
architects and sailors.

• Tools include models, graphics, charts, photographs, drawings,

3-D modeling, video, videoconferencing, television, multi-
media, texts with pictures, charts, graphs.
 Different Learning Styles

• Bodily-kinesthetic – use the body effectively.

• Tools include equipment and real objects.

 Different Learning Styles

• Musical – show sensitivity to rhythm and sound.

• Tools include musical instruments, music, radio, stereo, CD-ROM,

multimedia.
 Different Learning Styles

Decisions to be made when incorporating
media into different styles

• Visuals
• Printed words
• Sound
• Motion
• Color
• Realia
 Instructional Setting

Design should cover whether the materials are to be used in a

home or instructional setting and consider the size what is to
be learned.
Print instruction should be delivered in an individualized mode
which allows the learner to set the learning pace.
