Abstract

This chapter explores some of the educational technology opportunities that are available and are likely to become available for providers of engineering education. It uses examples to discuss how some of these opportunities have been realised. It also discusses the challenges faced in implementing new methods of delivering courseware and challenges that may impede the adoption of new methods and may actually work in opposition if not met with adequate support. Framing this exploration are three overarching considerations: imitative or creative uses of technology, off-the-shelf educational products versus custom built products, and support for and resistance to educational technologies.
