Educational Technology - also known variously as e-learning, instructional technology and learning technology - is the use of technology to support the learning process. Although the term can refer to all kinds of analogue technologies, eg photographs, film, video, audio recordings etc, it is usually used to talk specifically about digital computer technology.

Although technology is widely used in the administration and management of education (eg student records, marketing, procurement, finance etc etc) and in research, educational technology is only concerned with technology as it impacts upon the learning process, eg in delivering learning materials, faciliating communication and providing assessment and feedback.

Technology can benefit both traditional (ie face-to-face) and open and distance learning models. And perhaps it makes it easier to combine different models to provide a blended learning experience tailored to the individual's needs.

Educational technology is a complex, integrated process involving people, procedures, ideas, devices, and organization, for analyzing problems and devising, implementing, evaluating, and managing solutions to those problems, involved in all aspects of human learning. In educational technology, the solutions to problems take the form of all the Learning Resources that are designed and/or selected and/or utilized to bring about learning, these resources are identified as Messages, People, Materials, Devices, Techniques, and Settings. The processes for analyzing problems, and devising, implementing and evaluating solutions are identified by the Educational Development Functions of Research-Theory, Design, Production, Evaluation-Selection, Logistics, Utilization, and Utilization-Dissemination. The processes of directing or coordinating one or more of these functions are identified by the Educational Management Functions of Organization Management and Personnel Management. The relationships among these elements are shown by the Domain of Educational Technology Model.
