The study specifically examines how preservice teachers’ (1) felt technology related to English language arts instruction, (2) the extent they felt students benefit from integrating technology into the language arts classroom, and (3) their overall stance towards technology for English language arts instruction. Results indicated that engagement in the MOOC influenced preservice teachers’ perceptions that technology benefits students in English language arts classrooms.
