13. ICT & EDUCATION

14. LEARNING AS A SOCIAL PRACTICE Vygotsky Social learning Communities of Practice

15. ICT & EDUCATION: THE 21ST CENTURY STUDENT The 21st century students learn best: collaboratively, anytime, anyplace, anywhere, any pace. Also, when the teacher is in consonance with today’s world.

16. ICT & EDUCATION: REFLECTIVE PRACTICES By listening to student experiences, allowing for a heightened sense of awareness of learner needs, educators gain insights to improve pedagogical practice.

24. SETTING LEARNING FREE

25. SETTING LEARNING FREE 'Higher education doesn't reflect the life that students are living ... today's colleges are typically tethered, isolated, generic, and closed.' In the world according to David Wiley, universities would still make money, because they have a marketable commodity: to get college credits and a diploma, you'd have to be a paying customer.

27. MOBILE PHONES: LEARNING ANYWHERE, ANYTIME The smartphone revolution has moved the Web from our desks to our pockets. O’Reilley & Battelle

28. MOBILE PHONES: LEARNING ANYWHERE, ANYTIME In the past, schools provided the physical context for most learning - the setting (or shell) that surrounded the learner (classrooms, teachers, textbooks.) Mobile learning, by contrast, lacks a unifying physical context. It can occur uninterrupted across times, locations, and settings: from office, to car, to meeting, to airport, for example.

29. I-POD: From downloadable podcasts to just-for-iPod study guides and applications, learning on the go is beginning to show its face.

30. I-PHONE: A hand-held computer that you can use as a phone (and camera, and mail device).

32. WHERE IS THE MISSING LINCHPIN? TEACHER & STUDENT INTERACTION

33. MULTIMODALITY Two or more modes of operation. The term is used to refer to a myriad of functions and conditions in which two or more different methods, processes or forms of delivery are used. On the Web, it refers to asking for something one way and receiving the answer another; for example requesting information via speech and receiving the answer on screen.

VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT A virtual learning environment (VLE) is a set of teaching and learning tools designed to enhance a student's learning experience by including computers and the Internet in the learning process. A VLE should make it possible for a course designer to present to students, through a single, consistent, and intuitive interface, all the components required for a course of education or training.
