ltp technology enhanced learning
DESCRIPTION
Workshop for PhD Students who will be teaching, raising issues of digital pedagogy and technology enhanced learning, at Anglia Ruskin UniversityTRANSCRIPT
Dr Helen Webster
Learning and Teaching in Practice.
7: Technologies to Support Learning and Teaching
Learning Outcomes
This session will introduce different concepts of e-learning or technology supported learning, evaluate some of the tools and explore their application to different learning contexts.
By the end of the session you should be able to:
• Select, evaluate and justify the choice and use of appropriate methods for teaching and learning in the subject area and at the level of the academic programme
• Explore and evaluate the affordances of learning technologies for embedding in teaching and learning
What is ‘technology-enhanced learning’?
Are we talking about…• Using technology to enhance how we teach,
learn and assess?• Reviewing how and what we teach, how and
what students learn, in a world which is altered by technology?
What Learning Technologies are you familiar with?
• What learning technologies have you used?• What others are you aware of?
• Good examples?• Bad examples?

What are ‘learning technologies’?
What’s special about e-learning?
•Digital•Networked•Open
• (Martin Weller, The Digital Scholar 2012)
So why do we often still teach as if we’re in the Middle Ages?
How does e-learning change things?
Digital, Networked, Open
Activity• How does technology change the role of
– The teacher– The student– The learning environment (the classroom > University)
• And how do we harness this to enhance learning?
Broadcast media
Creating digital multimedia content for your students to consume (Web 1.0)
1. Create and edit:• Text: (powerpoint slides, handouts, webpages, e-books and
articles)• Video: (lecture, screen cast, animation, short film of you
explaining something)• Audio: (podcasts, audio files)• Image: (enhanced photos, diagrams, infographics)
2. Upload3. Embed
The Tools: Broadcast media
So…
Why not let your students record your teaching?
Or record it yourselfand make it available to your students?
Or to everyone?
The Flipped Classroom
Or if that seems like hard work (and it is)….
Open Education
Reuse, remix, repurpose open education resources from others.

The tools: participatory learning
Enabling your students to create their own content (Web 2.0)
• Blogs• Wikis• Filesharing• Discussion forums• Mashups, crowdsourcing, content curation• Personal Learning Networks• Portfolios
• …and making their own broadcast media!
But does e-learning really change everything?
How do any of these tools relate to the theories and models from yesterday?
Humanism Arising from a value-base of empowering and even liberating the learner under the assumption that everyone wants to learn.
Behaviourism A positivist "scientific" approach to learning focussing on behaviour and ignoring individual characteristics and brain involvement in learning.
Cognitivism How people understand what they are learning; people’s aptitude and capacity to learn; different ways of learning. The basis for ‘constructivism’.
Constructivism Learning is creating meaning from experience. New information is linked to prior knowledge, thus mental representations are subjective
Connectivism Learning is undertaken by the individual using rapidly altering sources and foundations of knowledge, and the ability to draw distinctions between important and unimportant information is vital.

Lower Order Thinking Skills
Digital Bloom’s Taxonomy
For each of the levels of the taxonomy, select an appropriate digital technology, and…
• Explain how you would integrate it into your teaching or assessment
• Explain your rationale – how does it enhance learning?
• Identify any barriers or metacognitive issues
Decisions: Walled garden or Big Wide World?
VLE? Open web?
