As a result, there are numerous distinct components to explaining educational technology's intellectual and technical development:The philosophy and practice of educational methods to learning are referred to as educational technology.Educational technology is defined as technical instruments and media that aid in the communication, development, and sharing of knowledge.Educational technology is used in Learning Management Systems (LMS), in particular tools for learners and educational program management, and education management information systems (EMIS). Such courses may be referred to as ‘Computer Studies' or ‘Information and Communication Technology'.
A connected e-learning framework for engineering education
Published in Ataur Rahman, Vojislav Ilic, Blended Learning in Engineering Education, 2018
In the chapter, further evidence is provided on the positive impact of blended learning designs in engineering education, particularly in student performance with an increase in creative thinking, independent learning and personalization of learning experiences. Central to blended learning is the integration and adoption of technology. In this respect, there are key trends accelerating technology adoption that will impact learning and teaching. The chapter discussed some important developments in educational technology including adaptive learning, artificial intelligence, next generation of learning environments and education analytics. These and newer technologies will continue to be relevant in the future to support higher education in its endeavors to implement more personalized and lifelong learning experiences in times of uncertainty and complexity.
Understanding Students’ Cyberslacking Behaviour in e-Learning Environments: Is Student Engagement the Key?
Published in International Journal of Human–Computer Interaction, 2023
Kian Yeik Koay, Wai Ching Poon
The conventional ways of keeping students engaged in e-learning environments are different from in physical learning environments. Predicated on engagement theory, the findings of this research shed light on the importance of student engagement to prevent students from engaging in cyberslacking behaviour during online classes. Particularly, instructors have to effectively utilise available educational technology tools provided by the educational institutions mainly focusing on three aspects: peer collaboration, community support, and learning management. In addition, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, maintaining student engagement is critical, particularly during the lockdown and the movement control order period, to prevent students from cyberslacking. Online learning will be the new norm and students will need to adapt to it and develop other new skill sets, such as socio-emotional skills, by actively engaging themselves in virtual class activities.
Towards learner-constructed e-learning environments for effective personal learning experiences
Published in Behaviour & Information Technology, 2018
The learner might employ technology such as assistive or educational technology or, in some cases, social technology to meet their needs. For instance, the learner could construct their learning environment by dragging and dropping audio and video apps of learning content that are related to their learning goals and through these, they could access the learning content. Assistive technologies such as screen readers could be used by visually impaired learners to read out text-based information while those with dyslexia could benefit from a spell checking App to interact with text-based learning materials.
Exploring an Innovative Moral Education Cultivation Model in Higher Education through Neural Network Perspective: A Preliminary Study
Published in Applied Artificial Intelligence, 2023
The integration of “Internet +” and education can effectively promote the informatization of education, especially the development of modern educational technology. Modern educational technology is the theory and application of computer-centered educational technology in education and teaching. It mainly expresses its innovation in educational means, educational media and educational facilities. The educational informatization mentioned here refers more to the application of educational technology in actual education and teaching, which mainly includes (Budiharto and Meiliana 2018): rich educational resources, interoperable communication platforms, and innovative educational forms. Under the foreshadowing of educational informatization, network media has become an important carrier of moral education teaching. While providing massive information and technology for moral education, we must first apply the concept of physiological and psychological development, and fully consider the feasibility of education implementation; Secondly, it is necessary to connect the subject and object of education, which is easy to operate and easy to accept. Moral education is a two-way interaction process between teachers and students. Education informatization is not only reflected in the technical support provided by information technology for education, but also in the specific implementation of the information platform in the field of education (Berendt, Littlejohn, and Blakemore 2020). Only by connecting and interacting between moral education teaching and students through effective information, so as to influence each other and work together, can education informatization be implemented and become a “booster” for the practical activities of moral education education and teaching, helping the subject and object of education Build a bilateral platform for informatization (Ferguson and Caplan 2021).
