Summary

Technology use in education provides a wealth of opportunities for enhancing the student experience. It supports betterness goals for both the student and the educational institution providing the learning experience. However, the inclusion of technology-based pedagogies in structured learning experience has the potential to cause harm if its use is unrestrained. This three-hour professional development course introduces the concepts of digital wellness and entanglement, and explores the concept of restrained entanglement as an issue of best practice in instructional design.
