Technology-Enabled Learning and Design Methodologies

Technology-Enabled Learning and Design Methodologies offers a comprehensive and example-rich guide to the latest technological and methodological advancements in education. This book systematically organizes a rich variety of educational innovations into four distinct groups of teaching-learning methodologies, each with its own focus and disruptive potential: Creative methodologies, centered on student protagonism and creativity, which shift the traditional roles in the teaching-learning process, empowering students to take an active, leading role in their education and encouraging creative thinking and expression. Agile methodologies, focused on time management and adaptability, which optimize students time and attention through microlearning and other bite-sized content, activities, and assessments. Immersive methodologies, driven by simulated real-world scenarios, which blur the boundaries between learning environments and real-life contexts in order to immerse learners in challenging, story-driven environments linked to clear learning objectives. Analytical methodologies, based on computation power, which support personalized, adaptive, and evidence-based teaching and learning by collecting and processing student data. Through a practical, dialogical approach, filled with visual resources and real-world examples, the authors provide solid theoretical foundations for their methodologies of focus, positioning them within a broader spectrum that goes beyond mere consumption of isolated techniques or technologies. This will be a relevant resource for current and aspiring instructional designers, educational technologists, subject matter experts, teaching faculty, researchers, and other stakeholders involved in face-to-face, distance, or hybrid education.
