14. Part 3: Review Pedagogical Goals & Examples of Educational Technologies Unless otherwise specified this work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. 14

15. MITs Approach Our approach at MIT is technology in the service of pedagogy Educational technology is not new Digital learning is becoming more dominant Current era is based in research and development going back to the 1960s Unless otherwise specified this work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. 15

16. EdTech Strategy at MIT Support faculty and students with experimenting and adopting innovative practices in teaching and learning Innovative approach in delivering General Ed requirements Make powerful tools and experiments accessible to students Leverage content and resources across courses and programs Facilitate hands-on learning in new ways Develop educationally valuable software tools Unless otherwise specified this work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. 16

17. EdTech Strategy at MIT Inform development of educational infrastructure and services Develop platforms (not one-offs) that render sustainability Implement test-beds for promising educational technologies and new services, to advance teaching and learning Develop plans for the incubation, early implementation, and the transitioning of delivery systems to long-term core service providers Support a shift to more blended and online learning experiences Unless otherwise specified this work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. 17
