Week One and Two

Session 1: Technology enabled Learning and Future of Learning in Higher Education

In Summary

• Theories underpinning technology enabled learning

• How technology is changing the way we learn in higher education and the future

We reflect on our own teaching philosophies and for me personally have transitioned from high school teaching to University some 10 years ago. I so often used traditional teaching methodologies in teaching in learning and over the years have changed my beliefs to reflect the changing time and the needs.

In ED401 and ED402 we have been taught to rethink effectiveness of teaching learning in this 21st Century through innovative methods where we will be able to achieve our Course and School ILOs through its alignment to the Faculty and USP' vision, mission and graduate attributes. We also reflect on problems of classroom teaching, looking at gaps in curriculum, delivery in various modes of teaching, issues of big student numbers, how conducive our classrooms are and the list goes on.

Now with blended mode, effective ways of learning online have been introduced in recent years. There is now a paradigm shift toward the use of digital tools and platform in teaching (Teaching in a digital age).
