This chapter examines the role of educational technology. Today, as higher education institutions adopt online learning to expand their markets, constrain costs, or achieve more flexible and blended learning, distance education departments sometimes have little influence on the planning or costing of the developments. Most massive open online courses (MOOCs) are designed as digital storefronts, providing multi-media taster courses for those interested in university study. The scholarship of integration involves putting isolated facts into some wider context by means of interdisciplinary, interpretive, and integrative studies. Educational technology may provide a variety of distance education or blended learning environments but the principles of design for quality are largely similar to those of face-to-face learning.
