"Instructional Technology is a complex, integrated process
involving people, procedures, ideas, devices, and
organization for analyzing problems, and devising,
implementing, evaluating, and managing solutions to these
problems."
Association for Educational Communications and Technology
(1996)
By definition, technology is applied knowledge. As we apply our knowledge to
our home, work, and education, we use technology daily without thinking much
about it. Technology should be a way in which we improve our lives. In
education, technology is using our knowledge to improve what and how we and our
students learn, grow, and develop on many levels.
As the designated liberal arts university in The University of North
Carolina system, UNC Asheville emphasizes a personalized undergraduate
education in a close-knit learning community. Small classes, valuable faculty-student
interactions, relevant course work, and meaningful field experiences are
the hallmarks of our Education program and the overall UNC Asheville experience.
Our education students gain a perspective on life through our General
Education program, depth of knowledge through a major discipline outside
of Education, and resourcefulness in teaching through a licensure program
that is supported by extensive collaboration with area schools. We enable
our students to gain the qualities and skills to succeed as teachers in
the 21st century.

I
do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem like a boy
playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother
pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay
all undiscovered before me.
~ Isaac Newton
