Abstract

At many Universities and colleges a range of learning technologies is used in an approach to learning that blends face-to-face and online methods. Often those who design blended courses need tools to guide their decisions of which technology to match to learning activities. The Taxonomy of Learning Technologies was developed to assist designers make appropriate use of learning technologies by classifying them within a simple taxonomic system. The intention was to produce a taxonomy that is sufficiently robust for general application and simple enough to be accessible to busy academics.
