Computer‐based technologies are changing at an accelerating pace and becoming increasingly complex. Smart and context‐aware devices and Internet access enable children and adult learners to gain factual and procedure knowledge about many things anywhere at any time. These computer‐based technologies, if well‐utilized in support of learning, can promote personalized and collaborative education, which research suggests are valuable pedagogies. However, new technologies create a burden on designers and educators to use them effectively in support of learning and instruction. Emphasis on 21st century skills suggests that education should emphasize the development of critical thinking and complex problem‐solving skills. Meanwhile, many educators encounter students who lack motivation and are ill‐prepared in reading and mathematics. In addition, engineering educators face another challenge—namely, the need to frequently update curricula so that students can attain marketable skills and adapt to rapidly changing technologies in the workplace. As it happens, proper use of educational technologies can provide solutions to these challenges. This paper reports one such approach to integrate new technologies in two hybrid synchronous courses using technology‐enabled scaffolds in support of deep learning and enhanced problem‐solving competence in engineering education at small colleges in the United States. The emphasis here is on the developmental approach rather than research analysis.

This study investigated the diffusion of Information and Learning Technology (ILT) among career and technical educators in Malaysia. It was conducted at a large career and technical institute and utilized a non-experimental research approach. The results show that a majority of faculty members reported that ILT is important as a teaching tool, yet also suggest that few faculty members use it in their teaching practice. Compared to males, female faculty members owned significantly more personal computers. Faculty members who owned a personal computer rated higher on the variables of usage, knowledge, satisfaction, and support, and lower on "barrier to use" than those who did not own a personal computer. The findings revealed that career and technical faculty members were most comfortable using familiar technologies including the Internet, word processing, and presentation software. The study suggests that career and technical training facilities in Malaysia should address general barriers and increase both technological and pedagogical support to successfully implement ILT in teaching and learning practice.
