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^)

A new learning framework,
By
This review is from: Rethinking University Teaching: A Conversational Framework for the Effective Use of Learning Technologies (Paperback)
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.

A sound and usable theory,
By Molly Orangy "Molly" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rethinking University Teaching: A Conversational Framework for the Effective Use of Learning Technologies (Paperback)
My students thought this book a bit 'dry.' Perhaps it is because the author and context are British. However, while I have read many books on teaching with or without technology, I have never read a book quite like this one. Logically and eloquently it built from assumptions about the nature of academic knowledge/learning to a model of teaching to support those assumptions to a framework for the use of technology to support the model of teaching. An all round gem of a book!
