For three decades and more, we have heard educators and technologists champion the transformative power of technology in learning. Yet despite the rhetoric, in many ways and in most institutional settings, education is still untouched by technology. Even when technologies are introduced, the changes sometimes seem insignificant and the results seem disappointing. If the printed textbook is replaced by an electronic book, do the social relations of knowledge and learning change necessarily or for the better? If paper and pencil testing becomes mechanized, does this change the nature of our assessment systems? Technology, in other words, does not necessarily have to bring significant change. Technology may not even represent a step forward in education.
But what could be new? How can we use technologies to innovate in education? This course explores seven possibilities for e-learning ecologies, opening up genuine possibilities for what we call New Learning: 1st Century Transformative Learning: XNUMX. Ubiquitous learning 2. Active creation of knowledge 3. Multimodal meaning 4. recursive feedback 5. Collaborative intelligence 6. Metacognition 7. Differentiated Learning These possibilities, if recognized and harnessed, will prepare learners for success in a world increasingly dominated by digital information flows and tools for communication in the workplace, public spaces and everyday life. staff. This course offers a wide variety of examples of learning technologies and technology implementations that, to varying degrees, demonstrate these possibilities in action. -------------------------------- Recommended Background ---------------- ---------------- This course is designed for people interested in the future of education and the "learning society", including people who wish to join education as a profession, practicing teachers interested in exploring future directions for a vocation that is currently in transformation; and community and workplace leaders who see their mission as part "educational." -------------------------------- Related Resources ---------------- ---------------- This course is based on the following book: https://www.amazon.com/Learning-Ecologies-Bill-Cope/dp/1138193720 Additional Online Resources are available here: https://newlearningonline. com / e-learning -------------------------------- Take this course for credit at the University of Illinois -- - ----------------------------- This course has the same content and anticipates the same level of student contribution to the eologies of e-Learning course offered to undergraduate, master's, and doctoral students in the Learning Design and Leadership Program at the University of Illinois College of Education.
