2. Learning Objectives
By the end of the session you should be
able to:
O establish some of the challenges and
opportunities that TEL brings to HE;
O identify and analyse relevant pedagogies
and approaches within the context of
flexible learning and delivery for TEL;
O reflect on ways in which flexible TEL can
work for your teaching style.
5. UCISA TEL SURVEY REPORT 2016
Any online facility or system that directly
supports learning and teaching. This may
include a formal VLE, e-assessment or e-
portfolio software, or lecture capture system,
mobile app or collaborative tool that supports
student learning. This includes any system that
has been developed in-house, as well as
commercial or open source tools.
6. What is TEL?
What is ‘enhanced’ and how do
we know?
Can we assume that technologies
‘enhance learning’?
16. • Technology allows for the
creation of new tasks,
previously inconceivable
Redefinition
• Technology allows for
significant task redesignModification
• Technology acts as a
direct tool substitute, with
functional improvement
Augmentation
• Technology acts as a
direct tool substitute, with
no functional change
Substitution

17. 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
practices.
- Cuban, 2001

Tech used is pervasive
I am as digitally literate as I am with
pedagogy and subject knowledge
I innovate & share
Students & I are using tech effectively
Tech is embedded in my planning
I’ve received this training
I’ve practised with apps
I’ve trialled it with some success
I’m feeling more independent
I’m scared of breaking it
I’m not sure what to do
I think I should use it, but I’m not sure how

Technology Enhanced Learning’ (TEL) is increasingly being used in the UK, Europe and other parts of the world so do we therefore assume that technologies can ‘enhance learning’ ?
The sharing of ‘good practice’ and ‘lessons learned’ among members of the higher education community can help academic teachers to concentrate on effective uses of technology and to avoid the unnecessary duplication of effort and expense.
Technology can also enable new approaches as to how learning is delivered and assessed, and can make certain pedagogic approaches viable and scalable when considered for higher education that otherwise would not be.

The definition for TEL, which first appeared in the 2008 Universities and Colleges Information Systems Association Survey (national survey, undertaken by UCISA https://www.ucisa.ac.uk/), reads as follows: Any online facility or system that directly supports learning and teaching. This may include a formal VLE, an institutional intranet that has a learning and teaching component, a system that has been developed in house or a particular suite of specific individual tools.
Universities and Colleges Information Systems Association definition of TEL
Technology is not the solution to 21st century education. Technology is simply a tool to aid learning.
Technology Enhanced Learning’ (TEL) is increasingly being used in education but we assume that technologies can ‘enhance learning’ ?
Let’s assume we all know what Technology is? Indeed let’s be more specific here and call it digital technology, so we at least know where we are.
Next question is what is enhanced?
How do we know if what we provide actually enhances the learning experience?

Learning occurs as the result of interaction between learners and their environment. When the learning has a planned outcome, it becomes a purposeful activity that requires the artistry and skill of a learning designer.
To understand a little more about TEL and the notion of enhancement we need to know a little more about technology in an education context
You were asked to look at this diagram and to consider what is understood by it.

So what is your idea of TPACK?

Ask the group to put their ideas on the Menimeter page and discuss the idea behind the use of a backchanel.

As educators we know, that teaching is a complicated practice which requires the ability to interweave of many kinds of specialised knowledge. We practise our craft in highly complex, dynamic classroom contexts (Leinhardt & Greeno, 1986) that require us to constantly shift and evolve our understanding. Therefore, effective teaching depends on flexible access to rich, well-organized and integrated knowledge from different domains (Glaser, 1984; Putnam & Borko, 2000; Shulman, 1986, 1987), including knowledge of student thinking and learning, knowledge of subject matter, and increasingly, knowledge of technology.

Derived from Shulman (1986) PCK TPACK builds on those core ideas through the inclusion of technology. Punya Mishra, professor, and Matthew J. Koehler, professor, both at Michigan State University, have done extensive work in constructing the TPACK framework. TPACK.org is an active repository of news and information about TPACK.
Mishra talks about TPACK
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXLdqO0fY3w
He says that technology changes how and what we teach and the context within which learning and teaching happens
After criticism, Koehler and Mishra also added the dotted line around the circles that indicated that there is always a need to consider the context, you, your students and the learning environment.

What TEL have you used in your teaching?
https://www.commonsensemedia.org/videos/introduction-to-the-samr-model
Dr. Ruben Puentedura, Harvard University, developed the SAMR model as a way for teachers to evaluate how they are incorporating technology into their instructional practice. You can use SAMR to reflect upon how you are integrating technology into your classroom. Is it an act of Substitution? Augmentation? Modification? Or Redefinition?

Professor Larry Cuban of Stanford University After investigating the adoption of technology for education in California, Cuban
(2001, 134) observed that:
This diagram was based of the work of ICT evangelist Mark Anderson whom I have been following on Twitter for a number of years. The diagram is, however, research based from the work of Ellen Mandinach and Hugh Cline’s work started in 1990s where the began looking at the impact technology has on classroom dynamics. Later in their book, Classroom Dynamics: Implementing a Technology-Based Learning Environment (2010), they offer keen insights and observations concerning the process of acceptance and utilization of technology in the educational environment.
The work of Mandinach and Cline provides valuable observations into how technology is accepted and utilized by teachers in the classroom. Their findings reveal a series of stages through which teachers progress as they strive to implement technology into their instruction. It is clear that each stage has its own set of issues and challenges that must be addressed. Furthermore, the stages are developmental in the sense that each stage must be successfully addressed in order for progress to continue.
