Framework for determining use of technology
We apply the SECTIONS (Bates, 2015) model to determine the use of a specific technology. It guides us in the consideration of
- Students
- Ease of use
- Costs
- Teaching functions
- Interaction
- Organisational issues
- Networking
- Security and privacy
to make an informed decision. You can dive deeper into the questions pertaining to each aspect of the SECTIONS model by reading the Appendix 2 in Bates reference resource mentioned above. Move through its individual parts by clicking the NEXT button on the lower right.
