This chapter describes approaches to using technology in teaching that have facilitated engaging and challenging learning settings across a range of discipline areas. The framework of the discussion offers readers the opportunity to consider and plan their own use of learning technologies.

The chapter describes uses of technologies that are able to deliver high student satisfaction and deep learning. The chapter discusses approaches that can be implemented with a variety of technologies and encourages readers to plan and implement the ideas within their own settings.
