Educational Technology, sometimes termed Ed.Tech, is the study and ethical practice of facilitating e-learning, which is the learning and improving performance by creating, using and managing appropriate technological processes and resources. The term educational technology is often associated with, and encompasses, instructional theory and learning theory. Multimedia packages can help to go beyond the four walls of the classroom.
