Editor's Notes
- Economic tablet with numeric signs. Proto-Elamite script in clay, Susa, Uruk period (3200 BC to 2700 BC). Department of Oriental Antiquities, Louvre. Proto-Elamite is the name given to a writing system developed in an area that is now in south-western Iran. It was adopted about 3200BC and was borrowed from neighbouring Mesopotamia. It was written from right to left in wet clay tablets.
- Always been opposition to new technology…
- Swiss scientist, Conrad Gessner in 16th Century, raised the alarm about the effects of information overload after the printing press was invented by Guttenberg in 1450.
- Famously the Luddites(19th Century textile workers) protested against newly developed labour-economizing technologies from 1811 to 1816. Picture of Luddites breaking mechanical knitting frames. But they were not anti-technology. They were ‘labour strategists’, concerned about the means of production. End of history lesson! Wanted to give you that context to show that any fears about technology –that it will replace human labour, that it will overwhelm us or impact on our humanity – are not new.
- Dystopian and utopian views of technology…
- Learning anytime, anywhere.
- Expanded view of classroom.. Mobile/Ubiquitous learning - multiplicity of devices, software, platforms and learning spaces. Blurring of boundaries between ‘formal’ and ‘informal learning’ Shift in roles – students as producers and partners, teachers as facilitators, curators Increased access – access to information (personal and public..) Also: Need to better understand how people learn (technology doesn’t magically change the way we learn) Changing assessment cultures – online, personalised support, peer assessment, learning gains tracking them. Assessing for learning

- Audrey Watters: Warns of what will happen if we don’t appropriate technology for education and make it our own. Resistance to technology is not only futile but fatal! Audrey Waters is a journalist specializing in education technology news and analysis. She has worked in the education field for the past 15 years: as a graduate student, college instructor, program manager for an ed-tech non-profit. Blog Hack Education. Diana Laurillard, Professor of Learning with Digital Technologies. Royal Society 2012. On digital technology. https://youtu.be/hzcaBjCqMV4
- It’s not about you or the type of technology. It’s more about the way you use technology, modes of engagement. You might own technology but you might not have the capability to use tech in effective ways… a focus on motivation more than skills…
- Who are our students?
- Often the view is that anything to do with technology is ‘IT’ but as we can see from the Jisc definition it is more than this.
- Digital literacy and its connection with the digital divide…
- The ‘how’ of engagement…

- Students' Mobile Learning Practices in Higher Education: A Multi-Year Study http://er.educause.edu/articles/2015/6/students-mobile-learning-practices-in-higher-education-a-multiyear-study

- Broadly speaking, LT lies at the intersection of three fields which significantly developed in the late 20th century.
- Market forces in education too. Changes in UK fee structure. External pressures to ensure ‘employability’ of students ‘Value’ for money of degrees Cannot ignore financial aspect but enhancement of learning experience is not a ‘business’ transaction. Students themselves are resisting process of commodification of education. NUS benchmarking tool – shows institutions as outstanding who work in partnership with students. http://repository.jisc.ac.uk/6140/1/Jisc_NUS_student_experience_benchmarking_tool.pdf
- Old saying, quoted in different ways by many people!
