Learning and Teaching
Our perspective of technology-enhanced
learning (TEL) and teaching aligned with
Laurillard, Oliver, Wasson & Hoppe (2009)
who suggest that the “role of technology [is]
to enable new types of learning
experiences and to enrich existing
learning scenarios” (p. 289).
In addition, they also suggest that “interactive
and cooperative digital media have an
inherent educational value as a new
means of intellectual expression” and
creativity (p. 289).](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/ascilitewebinar2013v5-130225221858-phpapp01/75/Technology-enhanced-Learning-and-Teaching-Report-12-2048.jpg)

(ALTC) to provide a summative evaluation of useful outcomes and good practices from ALTC projects and fellowships on key topics in higher education. Each report contains:a summative evaluation of the good practices and key outcomes for teaching and learning from completed ALTC projects and fellowshipsa literature review of the good practices and key outcomes for teaching and learning from national and international researchthe proposed outcomes and resources for teaching and learning which will be produced by current incomplete ALTC projects and fellowshipsrecommendations of areas in which further work or development are appropriate.
- #13 Our perspective of technology-enhanced learning (TEL) and teaching aligns with Laurillard, Oliver, Wasson & Hoppe (2009) who suggest that the “role of technology [is] to enable new types of learning experiences and to enrich existing learning scenarios” (p. 289). In addition, they also suggest that “interactive and cooperative digital media have an inherent educational value as a new means of intellectual expression” and creativity (p. 289). Laurillard et al. (2009) also suggest that “the route from research to innovation, then to practice, through to mainstream implementation requires the following:an understanding of the authentic professional contexts that will influence the curriculum, pedagogy and assessment practices that need technology enhancementcongruence between innovation and teacher valuesteachers having time to reflect on their beliefs about learning and teaching because TEL requires a more structured and analytical approach to pedagogyteachers and practitioners need a sense of ownership through their involvement in co-development of the TEL products and environments.TEL research must be conducted to reflect the interdependence between researchers and userseducation leaders need more support for the radical change of institutional teaching and learning models needed, if technology is to be exploited effectivelyteachers need to be more closely engaged in the design of teaching that uses technology, collaborating with peers and exchanging ideas and practices” (Laurillard et al. 2009, p. 304).

- #17 Outcomes for best practice in TEL1. A focus on learning design allows academics to model and share good practice in learning and teaching2. Authentic learning provides a means of engaging students through all aspects of curricula, subjects, activities and assessment3. Successful academic development focuses on engaging academics over sustained periods of time through action learning cycles and the provision of leadership development opportunities4. Engaging teaching approaches are key to student learning5. Technology-enhanced assessment provides flexible approaches for academics to provide feedback to students6. Integrating technology-enhanced learning and teaching strategies across curriculum, subjects, activities and assessment results in major benefits to the discipline7. Knowledge and resource sharing are central to a vibrant community of practice8. Academics require sophisticated online teaching strategies to effectively teach in technology-enhanced higher education environments9. Academics need a knowledge of multi-literacies to teach effectively in contemporary technology-enhanced higher education10. Exemplar projects focused on multiple outcomes across curricula integration, sustainable initiatives, academic development and community engagement.

- #21 Definition: Academic development “is used to refer to the developmental activities informed by the discipline of teaching and learning in higher education. This discipline is underpinned by research into university teaching and learning (Fraser 2005, p.5)Recommended Reading: Ling, P & Council of Australian Directors of Academic Development (CADAD) 2009, Development of Academics and Higher Education Futures.
- #23 Recommendation 1: The active engagement and involvement of senior management is critical to institutional integration and uptake of technology enhanced learning and teaching initiatives. Recommendation 2: Project sustainability is enhanced when there is engagement with an active (existing) community of practice. Recommendation 3: Embedding a technology-enhanced learning and teaching initiative into the wider curriculum is likely to lead to a more sustainable change than confining the initiative to within a single course or subject. Recommendation 4: To ensure continuity and ongoing value from repositories and websites, they must be actively managed and maintained both during and beyond the required three years post completion of the project. Recommendation 5: The development of tools for use within a technology-enhanced context must be accompanied by rigorous evaluation across a range of relevant contexts. Recommendation 6: Assessment considerations should be an integral component of all technology-enhanced learning and teaching initiatives. Recommendation 7: Academic development activities need to focus on sustainable, immersive strategies that allow teachers to enhance their own discipline teaching.Good practice report: technology-enhanced learning and teaching 25 Recommendation 8: Academic teachers should be encouraged to model and share learning designs within their own university, partner institutions and symposiums and conferences in higher education. Recommendation 9: Teachers need to learn the language of the internet, new media and new thought processes, as multi-literacies in the digital age require a new set of skills in order to effectively communicate and interact in the modern world. Recommendation 10: Projects should consider the inclusion of postgraduate students (Honours, Masters, PhD) to research the technology-enhanced learning initiative.
