The Influence of Technological Change on Teaching and Learning in the Academy

&NA; Education in the health care sciences is changing due to the increased use of technology. The use of computer‐based technologies, among other technologies, has expanded rapidly. This expansion has changed not only the way in which health science education is delivered, but it is altering many fundamental structures in the academy. How the academy conducts research and provides service is being affected, in addition to ongoing changes in education. The objectives of this article are to review some of the technological trends affecting health care science education and to project those trends into the near future. Two models for making effective use of technological advancements in educational activity design and implementation are described. The changes brought on by the advance of technology not only affect how teaching is done but alter the ways in which future health care professionals will think and interact. Some illustrations of how these changes might be manifested are provided.
