Teaching Learning And New Technologies In Higher Education

This book discusses emerging issues related to teaching-learning in Indian higher education and the integration of technology. It brings together a host of national and international experts specializing in various aspects of teaching-learning in higher education, technology, and classroom practices to present policy and organizational strategies for enhancing innovation in teaching-learning processes, and offers a comprehensive overview of teaching-learning in connection with broader themes and concerns such as academic freedom, globalization, and new technologies. Reviewing a wide range of current practices and discussing specific teaching-learning challenges in depth, the book will be of interest to researchers and students of education, practitioners of higher education policy, and teacher educators alike.

Universities continue to struggle in their efforts to fully integrate information and communications technology within their activities. Based on examination of current practices in technology integration at 25 universities worldwide, this book argues for a radical approach to the management of technology in higher education. It offers recommendations for improving governance, strategic planning, integration of administrative and teaching services, management of digital resources, and training of technology managers and administrators. The book is written for anyone wanting to ensure technology is integrated as effectively and efficiently as possible.

This book is an anthology produced by the international association, Learning in Higher Education (LiHE). LiHE, whose scope includes the activities of colleges, universities and other institutions of higher education, has been one of the leading organizations supporting a shift in the education process from a transmission-based philosophy to a student-centred, learning-based approach. Each of the chapters explores technology-enhanced learning in higher education in terms of either policy or practice. They contain detailed descriptions of approaches taken in very different curriculum areas, and demonstrate clearly that technology may and can enhance learning only if it is designed with the learning process of students at its core. So the use of technology in education is more linked to pedagogy than it is to bits and bytes.

"This book presents recent and important theoretical and practical advances in educational technology design in higher education, examining their possibilities for enhancing teaching and learning"--Provided by publisher.

Higher Education is a global industry, driving a new technological, industrial revolution. However, it is important to remember education is about teachers helping students learn. This work is a collection of short essays exploring how to use digital technology to provide a form of teaching which will meet social and economic goals, and make use of technology, while still having a place for the academic as a teacher. Drawing on work undertaken for a Masters of Education in Distance Education, this book charts one future for Higher Education, including instructional design, planning and management, catering for international students, using Open Education Resources and Mobile Learning. E-learning designer and computer professional, Tom Worthington MEd FACS CP, uses as a case study his award-winning course in ICT Sustainability and the design of a new innovation and entrepreneurship course. -- author's website.

Within higher education, there are enormous untapped opportunities for product/services companies, administrators, educators, start-ups. and technology professionals to begin embracing artificial intelligence (AI) across the student ecosystem and infuse innovation into traditional academic processes by leveraging disruptive technologies. This type of human-machine interface presents the immediate potential to change the way we learn, memorize, access, and create information. These solutions present new openings for education for all while fostering lifelong learning in a strengthened model that can preserve the integrity of core values and the purpose of higher education. Impact of AI Technologies on Teaching, Learning, and Research in Higher Education explores the phenomena of the emergence of the use of AI in teaching and learning in higher education, including examining the positive and negative aspects of AI. Recent technological advancements and the increasing speed of adopting new technologies in higher education are discussed in order to predict the future nature of higher education in a world where AI is part of the fabric of universities. The book also investigates educational implications of emerging technologies on the way students learn and how institutions teach and evolve. Finally, challenges for the adoption of these technologies for teaching, learning, student support, and administration are addressed. Highlighting such tools as machine learning, natural language processing, and self-learning systems, this scholarly book is of interest to university administrators, educational software developers, instructional designers, policymakers, government officials, academicians, researchers, and students, as well as international agencies, organizations, and professionals interested in implementing AI in higher education.

Universities today are faced with difficult decisions about how to integrate technology into their curriculum. Rather than merely offering advice on the applications of technology to teaching, this book provides a pedagogical foundation for decisions about and use of technology within the curriculum.

Educational systems worldwide are facing an enormous shift as a result of sociocultural, political, economic, and technological changes. The technologies and practices that have developed over the last decade have been heralded as opportunities to transform both online and traditional education systems. While proponents of these new ideas often postulate that they have the potential to address the educational problems facing both students and institutions and that they could provide an opportunity to rethink the ways that education is organized and enacted, there is little evidence of emerging technologies and practices in use in online education. Because researchers and practitioners interested in these possibilities often reside in various disciplines and academic departments the sharing and dissemination of their work across often rigid boundaries is a formidable task. Contributors to Emergence and Innovation in Digital Learning include individuals who are shaping the future of online learning with their innovative applications and investigations on the impact of issues such as openness, analytics, MOOCs, and social media. Building on work first published in Emerging Technologies in Distance Education, the contributors to this collection harness the dispersed knowledge in online education to provide a one-stop locale for work on emergent approaches in the field. Their conclusions will influence the adoption and success of these approaches to education and will enable researchers and practitioners to conceptualize, critique, and enhance their understanding of the foundations and applications of new technologies.
