1. Overarching themes when using technology to support particular aspects of student learning include each of the following EXCEPT:

2. When used effectively, communication and collaboration tools can increase engagement by allowing students to communicate about course content and their learning experiences.

3. When selecting new technology tools to adopt in their courses, instructors should consider:

4. According to the consensus panel, communication and collaboration tools that enable discussion forums and blogging can be used to provide students the opportunity to write reflectively, discuss learning experiences, and:

5. If students are resistant to the use of communication and collaboration platforms that instructors put in place for course activities and assignments, instructors may want to encourage synchronous communication or make participation optional.

6. Which of the following is NOT one of the panel’s recommendations to enable institutes of higher education to leverage technology?

7. The ADDIE design and development model can be used to develop flexible course delivery formats by offering a framework that includes assessment, delivery, discovery, interpretation, and examination.

8. Students’ understanding of course material may be deepened through engaging in interactive online modules or by viewing simulations or visualizing content in new ways.

9. Students may be unfamiliar with all the latest technologies so instructors should consider leveraging technology that students have already used or that:

10. Self-regulated learning is a process in which students understand and control their own learning, that involves thinking about one’s thinking, strategic actions such as planning and self-monitoring, self-efficacy, and motivation to learn, and that is driven by:

11. Video-based learning modules with interactive components including note-taking features, practice questions, and supplemental resources related to the topic can be used to boost student engagement and scaffold students’ use of self-regulated learning strategies.

12. Students learn to focus on mastering the steps related to completing a learning task in which phase of self-regulation training?

13. Since many instructors believe students should already know how to monitor their learning, and many students don’t believe they need to be taught how to self-regulate learning, administrators should incorporate self-regulated learning into their institution-wide learning objectives.

14. The most widely used technologies in traditional face-to-face courses for providing immediate feedback are electronic publishing devices that report instructor comments and suggestions.

15. Specific recommendations for using technology to provide timely feedback on student performance include each of the following EXCEPT:

16. Sophisticated technologies are being developed to provide students with feedback that supports metacognitive thinking and refection when they are online, such as adaptive learning environments, interactive online modules and courses, and intelligent tutoring systems.

17. Incorporating complex problem-solving activities into postsecondary instruction allows students to interact more deeply with learning material, to practice higher-order thinking skills, and to:

18. Instructors should help students to understand that there may not be a “right” answer to simulated problems when leading students in reflective discussions about simulations, and should encourage students to learn from their mistakes and be comfortable with:

19. Expert recommendations for using technology to support student learning were based on study outcomes in the domains of academic achievement, college attendance, persistence, attainment of degree, certificate, or credential, post-college employment and income, or:

20. All of the studies that investigated the effectiveness of incorporating technology that models and fosters self-regulated learning strategies demonstrated statistically significant effects in the domains of persistence and self-belief.
