Technology-enabled learning and design methodologies
Technology-Enabled Learning and Design Methodologies offers a comprehensive and example-rich guide to the latest technological and methodological advancements in education. This book systematically organizes a rich variety of educational innovations into four distinct groups of teaching-learning methodologies, each with its own focus and disruptive potential:
- Creative methodologies, centered on student protagonism and creativity, which shift the traditional roles in the teaching-learning process, empowering students to take an active, leading role in their education and encouraging creative thinking and expression.
- Agile methodologies, focused on time management and adaptability, which optimize students’ time and attention through microlearning and other bite-sized content, activities, and assessments.
- Immersive methodologies, driven by simulated real-world scenarios, which blur the boundaries between learning environments and real-life contexts in order to immerse learners in challenging, story-driven environments linked to clear learning objectives.
- Analytical methodologies, based on computation power, which support personalized, adaptive, and evidence-based teaching and learning by collecting and processing student data.
Through a practical, dialogical approach, filled with visual resources and real-world examples, the authors provide solid theoretical foundations for their methodologies of focus, positioning them within a broader spectrum that goes beyond mere consumption of isolated techniques or technologies. This will be a relevant resource for current and aspiring instructional designers, educational technologists, subject matter experts, teaching faculty, researchers, and other stakeholders involved in face-to-face, distance, or hybrid education.
