This publication is a collection of case studies outlining examples of how lecturers at Rhodes University have carefully considered and selected technologies to address a range of teaching and learning challenges. In each case, the selection of the learning technology has been driven by a particular learning challenge, with student engagement and enhancement of learning as the main goals. The lecturers have utilised technology as one of several tools in the learning process. Each case study emphasises that even with students’ technological abilities and the masses of information readily available online, the teacher is still indispensable (Laurillard, 2013) for planning, facilitating, guiding and scaffolding learning with technology. For the sake of clarity, some of the details in the case studies may have been omitted or slightly changed.
