Tips for blends 8: Keep all ideas about technology out of your mind until you�ve fixed on a suitable method

Technology will rarely make much of an impact on the effectiveness of your solution. Yes it could make it faster, cheaper, more flexible and more scalable, but it won�t guarantee that you achieve your goals. The first priority in any learning design � once you have a clear understanding of the requirement � is to establish the strategies that will best facilitate the required learning for your particular population.

Once you have a strategy that you believe in, don�t compromise. There is absolutely no point in going for a highly efficient solution that doesn�t work. So, take each element in your strategy and ask yourself how you can deliver this efficiently and flexibly, without compromising on the intended outcomes. Technology is a tool, not a goal in itself.
