The new maxim in the world of technology enhanced learning is that teachers must let curriculum drive technology, and should beware of letting technology drive curriculum. The goal in designing technology enhanced curriculum is to use tools that are appropriate to the needs of the learning experience. A sound pedagogy involves sound use of technology. The inclusion of technology into any learning environment should be undertaken for a reason. Technology can be the connection that enhances learning: the connection between student and knowledge, between student and student, between student and teacher, between student and society, and so forth. One way to address the multiple issues is to consider some central questions regarding online learning environments: How do we know IF a course should go online? How do we interact online? How do we address curriculum and course redesign?
