Instructional Technology

Given that the MAFLT Program is fully online, our courses involve using a wide range of instructional technology. Guidance on using technology also appears throughout our curriculum, from designing activities that use various apps to building online modules for language instruction. MAFLT students also each build their own website, typically in Google Sites or WordPress.

I provide extensive resources for instructional technology and online learning to my graduate students, on the MAFLT Program website, and through various presentations. Many of those materials are not available to the public, but these documents are examples of guides that I have created to help with onboarding and instruction:
