How or when does technology enhance learning?

(On behalf of Andrew Middleton)

The term 'technology-enhanced learning' suggests that technologies can be used to improve learner engagement and their experience of learning. Heightened experience and engagement are often associated with a greater degree of personalisation. But is technology inherently more alien and impersonal? How or when does technology work particularly well in making us feel included, less isolated, and personally and socially involved?

  1. I will be discussing a range of Digital Voice techniques being used across UK HE by academics and students that promote learner engagement and a more personalised experience of learning. Audio Feedback, Digital Posters, Digital Storytelling, Audio Summaries and many more.

  2. I think technology is certainly a way to connect with more people who share some of your interests. It is also a way to enable the use of multimedia cognition which combines pictures with words in ways that can be very limited in traditional lectures.

  4. Modern technology is the best thing that has happened to education in the past decade. It's a known fact that colleges and universities now days prefer to use online teaching methods instead of face to face.
