On Humanization in Educational Technologies

Science and technology have changed and are still changing our world, including education. Nowadays educational technologies are ubiquitous, making our teaching and learning easier, and more effective. Yet we see a gap between the technologies and the men who use them: the technologies are not humanized or user-friendly enough as they should. Technically it is not impossible to fulfill such gap. The problem is that such gap has failed to attract enough attention from technicians. This paper is an effort to arouse attention from professionals by looking at a brief analysis of how the gap has come around and what efforts could be made to improve the situation.
