21st Century Learning

The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.

- Alvin Toffler, American Futurist

Use of Distributed Classroom

eLearning



ICT integration is a new area of study for Indian Higher education hence research is needed

to improve knowledge and understanding about the use of ICT in education at different levels.

to guide policy/decision makers with appropriate data on processes and issues.

ICT research is primarily applied research (and Action Research).

Need for research in ICT Integration


Trends in Learning & EduTech (2015)

http://elearningindustry.com/top-8-elearning-and-edtech-trends-2015

1• Learning and Performance

(L&P) departments will become profit centers

2 • SaaS (School as a Service)

3• MOOCs (Massive Online Open

Courses) move mainstream and require authentication

4• Gamification will be the new

problem-solving tool – not just a tool to enhance learning


5• e-Learning moves from “seat

time” to competency and in doing so becomes more personalized

6 • You’ll be wearing your learning. Wearable eLearning

7

• MVC (Minimum Viable Course) Development will become the norm in tech and software industries to shorten product launch cycles

8

• Freelance eLearning ID (instructional designer) rates will decline; salaries for full-time IDs –with specialized skills--will increase

Important Issues1. Effectiveness:

Does ICT-enhanced learning effectively work? 2. Cost:

How much does it cost?3. Equity :

Is there equity of access to ICTs in education?4. Sustainability:

Are ICT-enhanced educational projects sustainable?Economic sustainability Social sustainabilityPolitical sustainability Technological sustainability

The Impact of ICT on Student Performance in Higher Education: Direct Effects Indirect Effects Organizational Change

http://www.uoc.edu/rusc/5/1/dt/eng/benyoussef_dahmani.pdf

Gives students more control; Allows students to produce high quality multimedia

products; Changes teacher practices, planning tools and

assessment rubrics;

Impact Studies

One Example


Equalises individual differences and has particularly dramatic effects for students with special needs;

Facilitates self-pacing with increased capacities to deal with individual learning styles as students can work at the pace and intensity suitable to their needs;

Enables collaborative learning with little indication of the isolated learner;

Develops communication skills and awareness of different audiences;
