Advantages and Limitations TEL

3. Five perceptions about TEL:
1. TEL is a synonym for any sort of educational technologies
2. TEL is a synonym for e-learning
3. TEL can refer to technology-enhanced classrooms
4. TEL can express an attitude in favor of "seamless" (or integrated)
interactive learning environments.
5. TEL can mean learning with technology (with cognitive tools) as
opposed to learning by/through technology.
DEFINITION
(Daniel Schneider, edutechwiki.unige.ch)

4. Technology
The application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes.
Enhancement
An increase or improvement in quality, value, or extent
Oxford Dictionaries
Technology Enhanced Learning

5. The term Technology-enhanced learning (TEL) is used to
describe the application of information and
communication technologies to teaching and learning
(Kirkwood, Adrian and Price, Linda , 2014).

8. Why should we incorporate TEL in our educational
pedagogies?
As with all changes that are happening around us, education is not the exception.

9. Personal investment made by staff and
students in using the technology for
teaching and learning
Financial investment made by
institutions for infrastructure,
equipment and technical support

Using technology can be costly

10. Potential Benefits

existing processes carried out in a more cost-
effective, time-effective, sustainable or scalable
manner
Efficiency

Enhancement
radical, positive
change in existing
processes or
introducing new
processes
Transformation
the overwhelming majority of
teachers employed the
technology to sustain existing
patterns of teaching rather
than to innovate … [and that]
… only a tiny percentage of
high school and university
teachers used the new
technologies to accelerate
student centred and project-
based teaching ractices.
Adoption Of Technology

11. Are we
here?
Internet communications technology adoption

12. Theories Main focus Map to technologies
Behaviourism • Trial and error learning
• Learning through
association and
Reinforcement
• Presentation of content, use of multiple
media to convey information
• Feedback through e-assessment tools
• Peer feedback
Cognitive
constructivism
• Focus on the processes
by which learners build
their own mental
structures when
interacting with an
environment
• Task-orientated, favour
hands-on, self-directed
activities orientated
towards design and
discovery
• Guided and adaptive instruction through
interactive materials
• Access to resources and expertise offers
the potential to develop more engaging
and student-centred, active and
authentic learning environments

Learning Theories and TEL

13. Learning Theories and TEL
Theories Main focus Map to technologies
Social
Constructivism
• Emphasis on
interpersonal
relationships involving
imitation and modeling
and joint construction of
knowledge
• Multiple forms of asynchronous and
synchronous communication offer the
potential for more diverse and richer
forms of dialogue and interaction
between students and tutors and
amongst peers
• Archive materials and resources
provide ample opportunity for vicarious
learning
• Different online communication tools
and learning environments and social
networks offer the potential for new
forms of communities of practice or
facilities to support and enhance
existing communities

21. 1- semantic organization tools
(e.g., databases and concept mapping tools)
2- dynamic modeling tools
(e.g., spreadsheets and microworlds),
3- visualization tools
(e.g., MathLab and Geometry Tutor),
4- knowledge construction tools
(e.g., a multimedia authoring tool),
5-socially shared cognitive tools
(e.g., computer conferencing (forums) and computer-supported
collaborative argumentation).
Typologies of cognitive tools (Jonassen & Carr, 2000)

22. Many of the studies reviewed concentrated on the means:
replicating and supplementing existing teaching. Fewer
considered the second aim - how.

education: what is ‘enhanced’ and how do we know? A critical literature review. Learning, Media and
Technology, 39(1) pp. 6–36.

23. Advantages TEL
•Information can be accessed in a unique way
•Due to the technological interaction some pupils
remember things better
•Possible to do, and experience, things that cannot be
done in lessons by any other means
There are many advantages associated with technology enhanced learning,
some of these include:

24. Limitations TEL
•Volume and cost of hardware and software – eg. have you
got enough tablets for each member of the class to have
one?
•Reliability; problems with battery life and wifi connections
•pupils get distracted from learning by the interaction with
something technological
•Staff knowledge
There are a number of limitations and problems associated with Technology
Enhanced Learning:

25. Future of Technology
According to a recent Futurelab report, by 2020, digital technology will be
embedded and distributed in most objects.
I agree that the personalization of learning opportunities is an
important direction of future technology-enhanced learning
approaches.
