This document discusses teaching and learning in a world of technology. It outlines several principles for effective teaching and learning, including meaningful learning through active, constructive, intentional, authentic, and cooperative engagement. It also discusses seven principles for good undergraduate education involving student-faculty contact, cooperation, active learning, feedback, time on task, expectations, and respect for talents. The document then examines how technology can leverage these principles and foster emotional engagement through practice, community, identity, and meaning. Finally, it describes the evolution of e-learning from course-centered to student-centered to context-centered models and how technology impacts today's students.
