19. Why digital pedagogy?
Good pedagogy is about teaching strategies that achieve
learning outcomes.
It requires us to fully understand students' needs and interests,
and how they best learn. It also compels us to identify the best
ways of determining what students have learned.
When we give students opportunities to learn in ways that suit
them, we are showing an understanding of their needs, interests
and strengths.
20. How is digital pedagogy different?
Digital pedagogy harnesses the opportunities presented by a
range of technologies to enhance pedagogical practice, leading
to what is described as a 'pedagogical advantage'.
This advantage helps create autonomous and independent
lifelong learners. It does that by giving students access to a
broader range of knowledge and ideas, by making the potential
for thinking and learning more visible, and by leveraging student
collaboration and engagement with the world outside the
classroom.
