TEL Meeting - Technology Enhanced Learning - Level 3 (09.00-10.30) Workshop Description
The Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) special interest group (SIG) is concerned
with how technology is used to enhance
the learning experience, in both classroom and workplace settings. We are
interested in how technology is used to do more than merely replace traditional
teaching methods. Although we believe that technology should not drive the learning experience, we
recognise that it also creates new
possibilities and as educators we should look to how it can develop learning
and help us achieve worthwhile educational goals. Thus, this workshop will have
appeal to all educators, not just the technology champions and gurus.
The aims of the workshop are:
The workshop will combine short presentations and discussion groups. Showcases will
include looking at how students’/trainees’ own devices can be harnessed for
learning (in the classroom and in the workplace) and the use of social
networking services (such as Twitter) for education. Opportunity
will be provided to hear about other TEL innovations. If you have something to
offer, please contact the workshop organisers to discuss. All welcome to come along, share ideas and
experiences and learn something new.
