Think about kids growing up with this technology
By the time they start school at the age of 7, they’ll have had their brains totally rewired
They will have had, for at least 5 years before school, full control of their 3D reality
manipulation gadgets
Schools, including universities, are slow to adopt radical changes.
And it is not a money issue
but …
… us, the teachers
To avoid this situation…
We need
• to start thinking about content in more engaging ways
• to implement research findings• to re-think the roles of students
and teachers
Difficulties
• Concentration• Immersion/distraction• Surfing books• Staccato reading• Working on paper• Checking ‘incoming’• Copy, Paste, Ctrl+F, Esc, F1, Undo in real life• Travel problems• Hard to stop
the aforementioned will not be a problem for the ‘new learner’ by the time he gets into University
Right now, we’ve got to deal with the learners in transition, using the tools and skills we have at
hand in order to catch up with them
Instructional Theories to consider
COGNITIVIST view• Information Processing - G. Miller
– T.O.T.E. and Chunking• Level of processing - Craik and Lockhart • Dual coding – Paivio• Component Display - M. D. Merill• Elaboration Theory - C. Reigeluth • Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning – R. Mayer• Cognitive Load Theory of Multimedia Learning - J. Sweller
– Intrinsic, extraneous, germane• Cognitive fit - I. Vessey
Instructional Theories to consider
(Social) Constructivist view– Bandura, Piaget, Vigotski, Bruner, Dewey
• Situated learning – J. Lave– Communities of practice
• Engagement Theory - Kearsley & Shneiderman– (technology-based teaching and learning)
Cognitive flexibility - R. SpiroThe New Way of Learning in a Complex and
