This paper is part of a research higher degree study where the author examines how practitioners in a higher education institution are currently using technology in their teaching. The author uses Marshall McLuhan’s ideas as a framework to discuss the online medium and to explore the notion of “shovelware” as a driving force for practitioners to understand and better utilise online technologies.
