Visual information, technology, and the Internet are transforming the fundamental structure of education in many ways and this includes art education. Technology is a key component in today’s classroom and knowing how to use it effectively to engage today’s media savvy culture can be difficult. Students today expect technology to be an integral part of their education. The problem of this study was to identify strategies for enhancing college level art photography courses through the creative integration of technology.
The results of this study indicate that technology is an important part of education in today’s digital world. Encouraging creativity by teaching students about art and exploring art challenges them to use creativity to solve problems and conceive new ideas. As education evolves in the 21st century it will be important to integrate technology into traditional studio art courses in order to facilitate technology literacy.
A final checklist of strategies for enhancing higher education art photography courses through the creative integration of technology is presented in appendix J and includes important information regarding learning goals, learning outcomes, technology resources, and effective pedagogical integration of technology into art photography courses in higher education.
