Technology-mediated learning: Status and challenges in perspective

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Technology has become virtually an integral part of all areas of educational delivery. While technology brings new means and ways of learning to students and teachers, it also poses challenges to them. This paper attempts to offer glimpses of the transformation of technology-mediated learning that are taking place, with examples in three key areas: learning spaces, learning modes, and learning materials. It highlights the pervasive permeation of technology. Noting the challenges confronting educators in the adoption of the fast changing technology, it proposes a model to systematically identify the difficulties to tackle now and in time to come. The model takes into account the general environment that the educational institution operates in, as well as the readiness of the institution, the instructor and the learner.
