     summary: Below, I will describe my experience in replacing a traditional lecture format with one where independent student teams undertake resource-based learning (RBL), which means that the course content was delivered through media other than the lecturer. Under the new format, students are deployed in independent teams to tackle a series of tasks supported by various resources, including documentation, email access to a tutor and, of course, the team itself.

     summary: In a chapter entitled Making Technology Attractive (Chapter 6), Daniel uses Moore's (1995) 'technology life-cycle' to argue the case for capitalizing on technology to 'dominate the niche' (p. 90). Universities have a window of opportunity to take advantage of developments in information and communications technology.

     summary: The OCW idea, that the best way to advance MIT’s fundamental mission and exploit the Internet would be to put all MIT’s course materials on the Web, open to everyone, and free, was, in retrospect, a logical conclusion to this strategic exercise. Both iLabs, which builds on the values of hands-on experience in MIT education, and Technology Enabled Active Learning, which addresses the problem of large lectures through studio-based learning in small collaborative groups, also reflect how the educational technology strategy was in alignment with the educational value proposition. MIT OCW will advance technology-enhanced education at MIT, and will serve as a model for university dissemination of knowledge in the Internet age.

      flesch: 45
     summary: However, repositories are reporting difficulties in obtaining good quality metadata from their contributors, and it is becoming apparent that the issue of metadata creation warrants attention. It touches on motivation and support for metadata creation by untrained resource authors, and on the necessity for checking of metadata, whoever it is created by: Even when there’s a positive benefit to creating good metadata, people steadfastly refuse to exercise care and diligence in their metadata creation.

     summary: Presumably not, though, of the entire potential target user group, because only those with some experience of using learning technology may have been included in the research process. This may point to a key element missing from the scenario described, i.e. a compelling reason for users to access the resources and participate in the communities provided for them by learning technologists.

     summary: Many new online courses are conventional courses that have been 'ported' to the new medium. There have been many significant advances in computing since 1975: the advent of the eight-bit microcomputer, hypertext, graphical user interfaces, object technology, CD- ROMs, the Internet and the World Wide Web. Prophets of what the latest technological developments will achieve for education have been many, and by and large false.

     summary: • Students have time to reflect on contributions to the debate, undertake further research and make further contributions, leading to improved quality in student learning. If it does, and the assessment mechanism is appropriate, the benefits include improved motivation to participate in discussion, improved student learning, and the ability to assess individual performance in group activities.

     summary: Techniques that attempted to quantify student knowledge in some way (confidence logs and 1-minute papers) were discarded on the grounds of difficulty of application within the resources available, and also because of the prob- lems inherent in using these methods to judge improvement against the stated aims. The INQUIRE (Interactive Questions Reinforcing Education) Evaluation Project was jointly conducted by two groups at the University of Oxford—the Saïd Business School and the Academic Computing Development Team to evaluate the use of online MCQs as a mechanism to reinforce and extend student learning.

(2002), for example, have proposed a theoretical framework for ‘social affordances’ by suggesting the incorporation of certain properties in Computer Supported Collaborative Leaning (CSCL) environments.

     summary: An initial aspect of this programme has been a series of commissioned reports and reviews, including a review of e-learning models (Beetham, 2004), a review of e-learning models and frameworks (de Freitas & Mayes, 2004), and a research study on the effectiveness of resources, tools and support services used by practitio- ners in designing and delivering e-learning activities (Conole, 2004; Franklin, 2004; Littlejohn & McGill, 2004; Oliver, 2004; Sharpe, 2004). ● What are the current approaches to the design of e-learning activities and how can these be developed in the future to ensure that we are using sound pedagogical models.

        date: 2003-09-01
       words: 1550
      flesch: 51
     summary: Learning costs are crucial to analyse because they have a major effect on when a given project may become worthwhile; which disciplines it will and will not work for; and economies of scale: it may work only for large-scale change where a single learning cost gives benefits on repeated occasions. Their method should be modified to stress an open-ended enquiry phase of active search for the important factors in each case and learning costs should be included in the classification.

     summary: A percentage of the total cost (made up of staff costs, revenue costs, capital costs, etc.) of 'learning' support can be allocated to the activities associated with each ICT investment option; that percentage would be determined using a suitable metric (for example, number of students). As he points out, taking a purely quantitative approach to the evaluation of ICT investments in teaching and learning is wholly inappropriate.

The paper does little justice to the complexities of Bion's thinking about basic assumption groups and work groups, but Table 1 may help.

     summary: This type of mass, industrialized production with a highly specialized division of labour (Lewis, 1971a, 1971b; Rumble, 1992; Fames, 1993) is specific to the OU and is not common in campus-based HEIs where learning resources production is more of an ad hoc 'cottage industry' (Fames, 1993; Bates, 1997; Peters, 1998). Input teaching activities / media, allocate student time between media, look at staff time costs and resources needed.

     summary: Given that students organized their time around dead- lines, the number and pacing of assignments will create the structure of the course, at least in terms of student work. Whilst some of the benefits that apply to distance learning will also accrue for students based at traditional institutions, it would be naive to assume that all will apply, or that they will all result in the same patterns of student engagement.

It updates the vision of technology outlined by Squires' (1999) concept of peripatetic electronic teachers (PETs) where Information and Communica- tion Technologies (ICT) provide an enabling medium to allow teachers to act as free- lance agents in a virtual world and reflects to what extent this vision has been realized The paper begins with a survey of some of the key areas of ICT development and pro- vides a contextualizing framework for the area in terms of external agendas and policy drivers.

We continue by describing the nature of the courseware that was designed to replace the practicals and by detailing the results of the first evaluation of this courseware, which demonstrated that student learning did not suffer from the use of the software while demonstrators were still present.

     summary: Chapter 5 ('Agents and Ferrets') discusses meta-searching and various tools to support this activity (such as DogPile, MetaCrawler and Ask Jeeves) while Chapter 6 ('Information from People') homes in to the use of electronic mail, newsgroups, conferences and online chatting for gleaning information from other people. The final 'skills chapter' (Chapter 11 - 'Getting Launched') acts as a sort of 'super recap' which pulls together the various key aspects of the material that was presented in previous parts of the book.

     summary: However, library skills courseware implementations at Glasgow University such as the TILT project (Creanor, Duradell and Primrose, 1996) had had little real impact on user education practice despite being acknowledged as successful examples of educational technology. But also, bearing in mind critics of the concept of information literacy, it would be valuable for us to find library skills courseware case studies which managed to create enriching learning experiences without falling prey to charges of irrelevant educational pretension.

     summary: The paper presents a pedagogical perspective of mobile learning which highlights three central features of mobile learning: authenticity, collaboration and personalisation, embedded in the unique time- space contexts of mobile learning. A pedagogical framework was developed and tested through activities in two mobile learning projects located in teacher education communities: Mobagogy, a project in which faculty staff in an Australian university developed understanding of mobile learning; and The Bird in the Hand Project, which explored the use of smartphones by student teachers and their mentors in the United Kingdom.

      flesch: 53
     summary: The paper is addressed to our non-mathematician colleagues and is not intended to be a survey of the existing software and courseware for mathematics teaching – the corpus of existing solutions is enormous and its discussion inevitably involves hardcore mathematics. I sincerely hope that IT solutions that do not work in mathematics teaching can be happily used, say, in the humanities or in the social sciences – but please do not force on us solutions unsuit- able for, and unworkable in, mathematics learning and teaching.

     summary: It is interesting that the call for papers for this special issue on theory in learning technology drew few papers with an emphasis on learning theory and that there is little evidence of a strong psychological, computer science or educational research influence. These include: � the place of theory in an applied practice-based field; � the legitimacy of specific theories; � the related contestation between theoretical positions and claims; and � the tensions and disjunctures between the empirical and the theoretical in research.

     summary: iCollab challenges the typical format of modules, courses and programmes, which run for a set period of time with a focus on discrete units of assessment; iCollab students work across cohorts, levels, institutions, countries, academic terms and time zones, using social media and other mobile, web-based tools for multimedia production, collaboration, cooperation and reflective practice � as well as exploring the creation and negotiation of digital identities and personal learning networks. While many iCollab students enjoyed international communication and peer feedback, building trust across networks is a complex process.

     summary: Indeed, this suggestion is in agreement with the higher appreciation of SDL by PhD students (generally first class UG degrees) than by Masters students (a mix including students achieving a 2.2 � according to the UK degree classification). Despite the different learning experiences of the diverse cohort, the study found that the blended nature of the course and its resources in support of SDL created a learning environment which positively affected student learning.

      flesch: 44
     summary: Recent reviews make the point that MOOCs for professional teacher development have been poorly researched (Jobe, Östlund, and Svensson 2014), and that the pedagogy of MOOCs has not received sufficient focus and needs greater attention (Bayne and Ross 2014). The aim of our project was to design an MOOC that would promote a form of co- learning to provide the type of teacher professional development that researchers argue is now needed.

      flesch: 41
     summary: Keywords: learning space; technology; community of practice; internet of things; design education Introduction Prior to the Industrial Revolution and the subsequent development of mass educa- tion, learning was a relatively unstructured process that relied heavily on interaction with others, such as in the ancient Greek model of Socratic Questioning, or through observation, practice and critique by an expert tutor, such as in the apprentice model used in Renaissance artists’ studios. Bluetooth beacons are an example of a simple technology that can be used to create connections and interactions between people, objects and spaces, and so offer significant potential for enhancing the ascendant social methods of learning by transforming learning spaces.

Some institutions have put in place a strategy of offering staff cash incentives, yet it has been argued that such initiatives offer no correlation with motivating teaching staff to adopt TEL (Johnson et al. 2012).

     summary: Through iden- tifying connections between learning theories, folk pedagogies and teaching practices, this article provides a contribution to knowledge which can be taken forward, not only by other researchers, but also by academic staff who teach, those who support them and senior staff in higher education. The gap in knowledge about how learning theories relate to everyday digital teach- ing practices in universities inhibits scholarly and practical developments in this area.

     summary: These factors highlight that creative pedagogical design is extremely challenging, that the culture of schools conforms to well-understood modes of working and that it is not overly surprising that it has proven to be difficult to scale and sustain changes in enacted teaching and learning through educational design research projects (Fishman et al. 2011). As is standard in educational design research, the pilot took a developmental stance.

     summary: Cohort 2 participants were not available for interviews or focus groups which could have provided a more qualitative, nuanced perspective on their approach to online video and discussion. Guo, Kim and Rubin (2014) concluded that online educational videos should be no longer than 6 min, as drop-off tends to increase after the 3-min mark.

     summary: Looking at the generic learner competences, we see an upward trend (Y-axis) mov- ing from skills related to collaboration and social competences (clusters 1, 2 and 6) more at the bottom to skills related to individual learner competences (clusters 5, 3 and 4) at the top. However, measuring learner competence development is complex.

     summary: Viewers engage with YouTube videos for several reasons: They perceive their engagement as worth- while as it satisfies a need; their engagement is enjoyable – arising from self-interest; or they are engaging to gather knowledge. Tan and Pearce (2011) in investigating free educational resources in their course, including carefully selected YouTube videos, found YouTube videos practical and reported that learners found them worthwhile and interesting.

     summary: Accepted: 15 October 2019; Published: 21 November 2019) Non-institutional technologies include external or third-party technologies that are not officially sanctioned or supported by higher education institutions (HEIs) but may be used by staff for educational purposes. The study therefore iden- tifies significant inadequacies in institutional policies and guidelines, and questions whether appropriate quality assurance processes and safeguards are in place when non-institutional technologies are used for higher education.

     summary: When it comes to primary education contexts, there have been general concerns about the feasibility of the FC practices due to a lack of self-regulation skills among primary school students at a relatively young age. Previous researchers also observed the negative attitudes towards and worries about their potential failures in their IBL learning processes (e.g. wrong results of experiments; unexpected difficulties) among many primary school students (Magee and Flessner 2012).

     summary: Keywords: student engagement; student disengagement; technology-enhanced learning; gender; gaming; non-native speakers Introduction Engagement is often seen as a key concept in education with its strong relations to school retention, grades, academic outcome and student well-being (e.g. Alrashidi, Phan, and Ngu 2016; Fredricks, Blumenfeld, and Paris 2004). Student engagement can be described as the visible and measurable outcome of motivation (Boekaerts 2016; Fredricks and McColskey 2012), and has been related to overall school success for all students (Alrashidi, Phan, and Ngu 2016; Fredricks, Blumenfeld, and Paris 2004) and defined as students’ initiation of effort and their persistence in learning activities (Alrashidi et al. 2016).

     summary: Findings should be extended to other teachers with caution, as technology acceptance studies are often limited to the specific research context (Mütterlein and Hess 2017). We adopted the UTAUT2-model (Venkatesh, Thong, and Xu 2012) as a theoretical framework, and added personal innovativeness in the domain of information tech- nology (Agarwal and Prasad 1998), based on prior exploratory research (Boel et al.

     summary: While media production practices, such as lighting techniques and sound checks, can vastly increase students’ attention, there are other factors that influence cogni- tive engagement and learner retention in online lecture videos. While it has not yet been applied to online lecture videos, it is plausible to expect that the addition of interactive components to an educational video might increase retention and cognitive engagement as well.

Bain* School of Education, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, UK (Received 14 June 2011; final version received 22 June 2011) Online learning, often supported through online discussion, is not only a popular means of supporting off-campus learners, but increasingly has a place within campus-based learning courses. Laurillard and others suggest that there are assumptions being made about learning through online discussion that have yet to be fully tested, and therefore there is a need to examine this area further.

In essence what Ross and Morrison (1989) and Ross, Morrison, and Lowther (2010) are arguing for is that different types of inquiry, with a range of approaches and foci, should be possible under the banner of ‘learning technology research’.

     summary: The captured media is mounted into a content management system which allows the media to be repurposed along with other content to provide an integrated support tool for student enquiry and self study which better matches their unstructured social experience. Many students who use existing resources developed by the authors and discussed in the following sections, describe how they use the content as a ‘‘background activity’’ while they engage in other online content, switching to full attention when particularly challenging elements of the content are reached.

     summary: Yet despite all this - indeed, because of it - those of us who believe in the future of computer-based learning technology (and not merely because pressure of student numbers might make it inevitable) need not simply wait for a real standard to emerge out of commerce or entertainment in the way such standards have emerged in the past. So it is with good practice in educational technology, which can be achieved only if circumstances are propitious.

     summary: An adaptive approach to learning sensory-motor skills In order effectively to examine the public reaction to SAKI, it is first necessary to define the difference between touch-typing and keyboard skills. This paper argues that while the absence of such features may be a limiting factor in the commercial success of the program, SAKI is nevertheless a prime example of the way in which a computer can successfully react to and interact with a user, and indeed one which would actually lose educational value if it were to undergo an interface-lift.

     summary: I am sure that many students who write dissertations but who are not yet fully familiar with scholarly procedures fail to provide source references not out of an intention to cheat but simply because they have not yet learned how to handle the referencing process, a process which involves not only using appropriate mechanisms but also judgement about when to include and when to omit a reference (indeed, the reverse of missing references - over-referencing to the point of preventing a natural flow of the text - is almost as common in student assignments within certain disciplines). After all, having an original idea is seen by most students - indeed most people - as even better than showing how good one is at winkling out the ideas of others, whatever the high moral ground taken in the rubrics and guidelines for assessed assignments.

However (and unfortunately), the use of networked microcomputers in schools continues to reflect a 'one-station, one-user' approach, especially when viewed from the perspective of the integration of teaching models and technology.

     summary: A theoretical view on concept mapping Ray McAleese Heriot-Watt University, UK Abstract Auto-monitoring is the pivotal concept in understanding the operation of concept maps, which have been used to help learners make sense of their study and plan learning activities. The idea of using concept maps (Novak and Gowin 1984) or mind maps (Buzan 1993) as part of an instructional strategy is not new (Bogden 1977; 38 ALT-J VOLUME 2 NUMBER 1 Reader and Hammond 1993), but it is timely to consider the contribution that such techniques have made to learning technology.

     summary: Until I read Ray McAleese's paper, I perhaps had a rather simplistic psychologist's view of concept mapping. The activities involved in concept mapping could be linked to well-known psychological principles of understanding, memorization and learning: effort, elaboration and depth of processing; generation and enactment effects; encoding specificity and encoding variability; the distinctions between explicit and implicit representations; meta- cognitive strategies and reflection, and so forth (Hammond 1993).

     summary: We begin with an overview of concept maps as a means of describing a learner's knowledge constructs, and then discuss a broader class of tools, Mindtools, of which concept maps are a member. We proceed by defining Mindtools as formalisms for represent- ing knowledge, and further elaborate on concept maps as a formalism for representing a particular kind of knowledge: structural knowledge.

     summary: Conclusion Working together, expert systems and neural networks can offer a powerful set of tools for the implementation of intelligent agents for handling information retrieval problems within an EPSS. This paper dis- cusses the design of a distributed electronic performance support system and the ways in which 'intelligent agents' based on expert systems and neural networks can be used to locate and share distributed expertise.

     summary: Can the same sort of thing be applied to the sole use of educational technology as opposed to using human teachers? But despite the uncanny accuracy of some of Arthur C. Clarke's predictions of thirty or so years ago in 2001: A Space Odyssey, the chances of our producing by the beginning of the 21st century (or even well beyond) a computer like HAL, able to react more or less like a human being, are inflnitesimally small; and it would take a HAL to make human teachers completely redundant.

     summary: It provided a unique opportunity for lecturers, courseware developers, library staff, computing support staff, educational development staff and institutional managers to meet and discuss the effective implementation of educational technology. Enabling active learning through the use of educational technology requires students to have adequate access to computers and training in using them, lecturers to have the confidence and skills necessary for using technology in their courses, and - crucially - senior managers in institutions of higher education to take a proactive role in supporting innovation in teaching and learning, both financially and by adopting appropriate staff- support policies.

     summary: Introduction There are currently substantial investments being made in courseware development in the UK, in particular in the HÈFCs' Teaching and Learning Technology Programme (TLTP), and the hope which underpins these development efforts is that Higher Education institutions will eagerly adopt and exploit the freely available courseware which emerges from them. There is now a national requirement for efforts to be made to bring together the many strands of courseware development.

The paper then describes how designers of computer simulations can add to their own learning by retrospectively analysing their own simulations.

Based on our experience of working on teaching technology programmes, within the framework of national and institutional initiatives, it is evident that the establishment of an institutional strategy, and its implementation in a supporting university-wide programme of staff development and training, together with strong commitment at the senior managerial level, are imperatives which determine the successful integration of learning technology within academic institutions.

Ramaiah and colleagues presents the results of some interesting experiments concerned with student skills in handling new technology; they thus tangentially encompass learning theory. And the report by Naidu and colleagues, on ways of improving instructional effectiveness with computer-mediated communica- tion, naturally involves learning theory.

     summary: • Studies show that the use of metacognitive strategies can improve learning skills, and that the independent use of these metacognitive strategies can be gradually developed in people (Brown, 1978; Biggs, 1985; Weinstein et al, 1988). REALs provide learning activities that engage students in a continuous collaborative process of building and reshaping understanding as a natural consequence of their experiences and interactions within learning environments that authentically reflect the world around them.

     summary: Odessa State University, Ukraine ** Kiev Institute of Psychology, Ukraine The use of computers for knowledge transfer does not result automatically in success: the efficiency of the process depends on the approach to instruction underlying the knowledge-transfer system in question. This can prevent effective knowledge transfer and evoke a negative emotional attitude to the computer, or at least to computer-assisted learning.

     summary: The first five papers deal with topics related to the study of mathematics, namely the use of multimedia environments for enhancing student learning in mathematics; task analysis and didactic tools to support mathematics tutoring; 'unintelligent' tutoring in algebra based on psychological theories and experimentation; the use of intermediate models for solving word problems involving the development of arithmetic skills; and the use of computer programming as a mechanism to support the development of open-ended project work. In chapter 2, Mason gives her personal view on what attributes of interactivity are desirable in an educational context, and evaluates these for computer conferencing, audiographics and videoconferencing.

     summary: So while I was hardly astonished that the majority of the papers given at the conference dealt in one way or another with changes in technology and/or reflected present trends in educational thinking, I was a little surprised that so few of them directly addressed what for me 5 Gabriel Jacobs Editorial was the central implication of the conference's theme: the complex and potentially uneasy relationship between the two kinds of change. The papers which made up the conference (a small selection of which are published in this special issue of ALT-f) would have reflected this theme even if it had not been chosen by the conference committee, since both educational thinking and educational technology are so patently in flux.

It would appear that, as medical students move through their training, a certain degree of their innate ability to communicate with mothers of sick children seems to have been altered by their desire to obtain factual information.

It is therefore entirely appropriate that AECT (Association for Educational Communications and Technology), founded in the USA, should have fostered this plain book about changes since 1977 in instructional technology as perceived by practitioners in the USA. 61 Reviews AECT does not pretend to be an international organization, and its Committee on Definition and Terminology consulted widely within the USA, not beyond.

This is to be expected since the institution is still in a rapid growth phase with respect to new learning technology.

The first of these is agency: learning technology research can fall into the trap of focusing on the technology that is offered rather than what people do with or without it.

      flesch: 44
     summary: Rapid student machinima production (i.e. simple action capture) offered opportunities for Education and Sport where machinima could drive class discussion. Reusability may also be found by offering students machinima stems that they are tasked with completing by introducing variables (e.g. decisions, viewpoints) and conclusions.

     summary: Connecting learning objects to instructional metaphor, and a taxonomy, in: The instructional use of learning. The papers in this issue of ALT-J challenge us to think about connectivity in a different way, where learners are not necessarily connected to other learners or other resources but are connected to other concepts and understandings that help them make sense of and extract meaning from their online learning experiences.

      flesch: 44
     summary: Learners’ views about what constitutes useful feedback Having asked learners about three specific instances of model-answer feedback, they were asked two supplementary questions and invited to talk about their generic expectations of e-learning feedback following MCQs or short-answer questions. This was asked in recognition of the vital importance of understanding student expectations of e-learning feedback; indeed, Alavi and Gallupe (2003) argue that the management of student expectations is a key principle of technology-mediated learning.

     summary: Dickey’s study explores one way in which such practices can be communicated to students—involving an embodied representation of knowledge, communication through demonstration. Do we open up our own communicational repertoire, as teachers, to adopt a form of communication in which many students are already fluent, such as Instant Messenging?

     summary: The results from such studies reveal a degree of convergence: that good online discussions foster effective collaborative learning (Dewiyanti et al., 2005); that students can learn through reflecting deeply on the online submissions made by others if they understand the purpose of the activity and approach it in useful ways (Ellis et al., 2004); that reflection can be part of an active learning structure for online discussions that facilitate the sharing of different viewpoints and ideas to develop understanding (Gilbert & Dabbagh, 2005); and that students do not neces- sarily have to participate directly in a discussion to benefit from reflecting through listening or reading (McKendree et al., 1998). Categories of approaches to learning through online discussions: ● Approach A: Engaging in online discussions to evaluate postings to reflect on key ideas.

     summary: The dual approach to multimedia accessibility is introduced; that is, teachers and e-learning developers are encouraged to use multimedia wherever possible to enhance the accessibility of the traditional learning environment, but at the same time to make best efforts to ensure the multimedia resource—or more specifically the intended learning outcome of the resource—is as accessible as possible to the target audience. The need for a holistic approach to multimedia accessibility In the United Kingdom, the legislation of the DDA does not specify technical requirements that must be met by digital resources in order to avoid discrimination.
