Abstract

Educational online technologies (EOTs) have dynamically transformed learning environments, opening vast opportunities to a range of tertiary education providers (TEIs). Making educationally sound choices about technology use can be challenging, amidst the extensive and largely unclassified range of tools. The absence of a taxonomy comprehensive enough to guide EOT choice is a concern, given the current extent of online activity. This chapter addresses this issue by proposing a new taxonomic framework of EOTs called the Pentexonomy. Developed by augmenting five existing taxonomies, the Pentexonomy synergizes a range of perspectives to produce a robust, contextualized, and multi-dimensional classification which facilitates educationally sound decision-making on EOT activity.
