Keep calm and embrace technology. Subject-matter experts helped us identify seven instructor behaviors associated with the effective use of technology in teaching, and we asked students to evaluate those behaviors for the courses in which they were learning the most (figure 2). Students reported that their instructors communicated effectively and demonstrated a reasoned and reasonable approach to technology use in their courses. In terms of communication, most students agreed or strongly agreed that their instructors were easy to contact, responded to questions and comments in a timely manner, and provided feedback in a timely manner. Students also said their instructors used technology effectively for instruction, had reasonable technology policies, addressed technology-related accessibility issues, and provided students with information or access to technical support and resources. Modality had an impact on student ratings of their instructors' use of technology: students in synchronous courses rated instructor communication efforts and technology practices slightly higher than did students in asynchronous ones (by around 4 percentage points for most areas of evaluation).
