Product Description
Product Description
Teachers in higher education have had to become more professional in their approach to teaching, matching their professionalism in research. The first edition of this book prepares teachers to do and undergo quality audits and appraisals, and to achieve their personal aims of improving their teaching and their students' learning. The strength of this book is that it provides a sound theoretical basis for designing and using learning technologies in university teaching.
This new edition builds upon the success of the first and contains major updates to the information on learning technologies and includes the implications of using technology for the university context - both campus and electronic - which suggests a new approach to managing learning at institutional level.

From the Publisher
'With higher education a national priority everywhere, new learning technologies are much in our minds. Developments are dramatic and sometimes bemusing...It is one of the values of this book that the combination of the traditional and technological learning methods is brought out in such clear balance. Having read it, I no longer feel bemused or worried.'(Lord Moser, current Director of the British Museum Development Trust and former Chair of the National Commission on Education^)

Format:Paperback
I found this books interesting since it tackles points that are usually ignored when technology is introduced into any learning situation. What students need and expect seems to be of a secondary importance to tech. enthusiasts; a situation I find true after more frequently. I would recommend this book for information office and learning resources specialists especially within higher education.

One of the key problems with introducing technology into education is that often technology is introduced for technology's sake rather than as a tool to improve delivery and academic standards.
This book sets out a framework for evaluating the impact of technology on education and in particular on learning. The book builds on the Conversational Framework of Pask to create a schema for learning. The book describes how different technologies can be used to address different aspects of the framework. The aim is to provide an objective evaluation of the technology separate from the complex interactions of teachers and students.

This book is about the potential of new educational technology and media to improve student learning and teaching efficiency. Part I explores student learning styles and what it is that they need from educational technology; Part II looks at teaching methods and the new media available; Part III discusses methodology, designing learning activities, and establishing the interactive learning context.
