The Digital Classroom by
The way students learn changes when they have access to digital tools. The Digital Classroom demonstrates that using technology to enhance students' learning is not dependent on a specific learning management system or software - it is about changing the pedagogy with the help of an arsenal of useful tools and methods. This practical book introduces easy to use methods to all teachers in digital classrooms with the intention to make it simple, accessible, and achievable for everyone. It is not only about the tools, and the how and why, but also about changing the pedagogy making the learning more relevant to the students. When you open the classroom to the rest of the world, the teacher becomes more important than ever. Topics in the book include: Technology and deeper learning Social media in the global classroom Building a personal learning network The flipped classroom and cooperative learning The use of iPads in primary and middle school Teaching with videogames Special education Digital citizenship Digital tools can play a key role in making learning happen and what the teachers know about the use of technology is key. The Digital Classroom will be of great interest to teachers and trainee teachers who wish to develop their digital competency by using the book as part of their professional learning.

Best Practices in Online Teaching and Learning across Academic Disciplines by
Online teaching and learning has surged in recent years, and faculty who normally teach in face-to-face settings are increasingly called upon to teach blended, hybrid, and fully online courses. Best Practices in Online Teaching and Learning across Academic Disciplines provides insights from experienced university teachers and scholars across multiple disciplines--including social sciences, humanities, natural sciences, mathematics, and professional programs such as nursing, education, and business administration--who share innovative practices, pedagogies, and instructional design techniques. This work highlights and features effective, practical, innovative, and engaging best-practices and approaches in online teaching and instructional design that can assist university faculty members and teachers, course designers and developers, and administrators invested and involved in online education. Using a common theme and structure, each chapter is co-authored by faculty members possessing a wealth of experience and credentialing in online teaching and instructional design in the relevant discipline or sub-discipline. Chapters include best-practices, approaches, and techniques within the discipline as well as relevant, innovative, and specific tools and strategies that improve student engagement and outcomes. The book will appeal to faculty members and administrators in higher education teaching or designing online courses or entire online curricula, as well as instructional design staff working with and training faculty. Readers will be especially interested to discover lessons about how contributors have successfully taught and designed courses in disciplines not typically associated with online learning, such as mathematics, composition/writing, drawing, "hard" sciences, and speech, among others.

Cognitive Load Theory by
Brings clarity to the complexity surrounding cognitive load theory (CLT) and provides a user-friendly toolkit of techniques designed to help teachers optimise their pupils' learning.?? Foreword by John Sweller. CLT is rapidly becoming education's next 'big thing' - and Professor Dylan Wiliam recently vouched for its significance as being 'the single most important thing for teachers to know'. It is natural, therefore, that teachers will want to know more about it and, more importantly, understand how they can adapt their classroom teaching to take it into account.? Written by author and international teacher trainer Steve Garnett, this invaluable pocket guide offers a complete yet concise summary of what CLT involves and how it can impact on pupil performance. Steve provides a wide range of classroom-based teaching strategies to help teachers avoid 'overloading' their pupils' working memories, and empowers them with the tools to improve learners' retrieval from long-term memory and get them learning more effectively - particularly when learning new content. ? Suitable for teachers, department heads, school leaders and anyone with a responsibility for improving teaching and learning.

Active Learning Online by
This book summarizes the heart of the science of learning in a way that will help instructors teach online, both in synchronous (e.g., with Zoom) and asynchronous (e.g., with Canvas) settings. The material in this book can be used to inject active learning into existing courses or to design a course from scratch; in both cases, active learning will make the courses not only more interesting but also more effective.Readers will learn key facts about cognitive functioning that form the foundation of effective learning. In particular, this book reviews the relationships between "learning" and "memory" and describes several different types of "memory stores" that exist in the human brain, and it explains factors that affect different phases of learning, from encoding, to storage, to retention, to retrieval of stored information.The heart of this book includes five key principles from the science of learning that will help to ensure that that taught materials stick in student's minds: (1) deep processing, (2) chunking, (3) building associations, (4) dual coding, and (5) deliberate practice. (See the Contents tab for a description of each.)You will learn strategies derived from theories of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation to help engage your students and inspire them to participate. The book concludes with many examples of specific active learning exercises and particular types of activities; all of these exercises and activities can be done effectively online, often both in synchronous and in asynchronous settings.

- Three levels of planned elearning interactions: a framework for grounding research and the design of elearning programs Advances in technology offer a vast array of opportunities for facilitating elearning. However, difficulties may arise if elearning research and design, including the use of emerging technologies, are based primarily on past practices, fads, or political agendas. This article describes refinements made to a framework for designing and sequencing elearning interactions originally published in 2002 based on insights gained from a decade of application across settings.
- Actualizing the Affordance of Mobile Technology for Mobile Learning: A Main Path Analysis of Mobile Learning As the number of mobile device owners on university campuses grew over the past two decades, scholars specializing in digital education and its application versatility have taken a heightened interest in mobile learning programs and platforms. The nature of mobile learning is constantly evolving with the development of technology artifacts, and it brings the purpose of this article into sharper focus as we examine mobile learning from various perspectives, critical issues confronting distant education programs, and identify potential research directions for future studies.
