Digital Learning Theories and Models That All Educators Should Know

Digital Learning Theories and Models That All Educators Should Know | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it
You’ve probably heard about the benefits of digital learning: It’s engaging, student-centered, often collaborative, and can increase student achievement.

But here’s the catch:

You and your students won’t reap these benefits if you don’t purposefully plan your use of technology.

Too often, teachers think of technology as something to check off of a list. “Does this lesson use technology? Nope…How can I sprinkle some in?” Using technology merely for the sake of using technology isn’t effective teaching.

Instead, here are five digital learning theories and models that can help you tap into the benefits of technology and enhance student outcomes.

Higher education students’ experiences of digital learning and (dis)empowerment | Costa | Australasian Journal of Educational Technology

Higher education students’ experiences of digital learning and (dis)empowerment | Costa | Australasian Journal of Educational Technology | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it

This paper focuses on learning practices in higher education in relation to a digital participatory culture. Using key principles of critical education, the research set out to explore higher education students’ sense of agency online – or lack of it –as part of their formal learning practices. The research found that although students were proficient Web users, they did not exercise their learner agency beyond what they assumed to be expected of them, thus evidencing the stability of their learning habits in relation to the learning conventions associated with the academic field. Perhaps more surprisingly, however, is students’ perception of the Web not only as a space of student participation, but also as a space of student surveillance. Such perceptions constitute real obstacles to meaningful participation as a form of learning.
