ABOUT THE BOOK
Educators and researchers worldwide are
confronted by a tantalizing challenge – how should contemporary technologies be
used to enhance learning? This book provides a broad academic and teaching
audience with an integrated understanding of learning technology research, and
how it can be used to enhance the design of learning environments.
Whereas some books focus exclusively on
research relating to learning technology and others propose ways to use
technology effectively, this book synthesises research for the purpose of
informing best practice. After laying pedagogical, technological and content
foundations, it examines research relating to the educational use of Web 2.0,
social networking, mobile devices and virtual worlds. Analysis across these
contexts leaves readers with a nuanced understanding of how technology-enhanced
learning design principles may (or may not) be abstracted across different
learning technology environments. Providing an integrated portrayal of learning
technology research enables educators (academics, school teachers, pre-service
teachers and educational designers) to immediately adopt evidence-based
approaches in their teaching. The comprehensive synthesis of the literature
also helps learning technology researchers to more clearly identify
the interrelationships between different areas of learning technology research,
as well as position their work amongst the practical problems of the field.
Rich with examples, this book is suitable
for those who want to adopt a design-based and research-driven approach to
enhancing learning using technology.
