Instructional Resources in Contemporary Education

Education institutions are facing problems of insufficient resources for teaching and learning. As a result, teaching in most cases is reliant on the chalk-talk model and/or student-centered learning approach. Nevertheless, teaching by use of instructional materials, technologies, models, and media is important for diverse learning needs of learners. This is because some learners can be audio, visual, both audio-visual impaired (possess multiple disabilities). They may also be fast or slow learners. Such learners cannot rely on single teaching style or source of information in their studies. With the available technologies, tutors and researchers should be thinking on how to design courses in which the technology enriches teaching activities. Why the use of technology in the classroom setting is very crucial? Many studies have found that teaching with technologies provides additional skills, knowledge and attitude for the individuals needed to function in the dynamic world of work. Therefore, this book contains topics through which teachers and educationalists in general acquire ideas, knowledge, facts and attitude on designing lessons which involve use diverse technologies.
