Technology Evaluations

Before a new instructional technology tool is added to our toolbox, ODU staff assess the technology through a comprehensive exploration of its use and capabilities. For each tool, we examine and consider:

  • Use case applicability
  • ADA and 508 accessibility compliance
  • Security and FERPA compliance
  • Cost effectiveness
  • Ease of use
