Product Description
Rethinking University Teaching prepares teachers for the challenges they will face as they meet the growing demand for more professional approaches to teaching. Diana Laurillard also informs them how technological media has improved students' learning, helps teachers to think constructively and critically, and builds towards a practical methodology for the design, development and implementation of educational technologies. She explores students' learning, and what it is that they need from educational technology; examines individual teaching methods and media, including non-interactive media (lectures, print, audio, etc.), hypermedia (CD-ROM, etc.), and interactive media (simulations, modelling programs etc.); and discusses the design methodology, designing learning activities, setting up the learning context and maintaining quality.
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^)
