The climate of Higher Education is changing rapidly. The students
are more likely to see themselves as consumers and have
increasingly high expectations regarding teaching and learning.
Universities are in part aiming to meet this need by increasing the
use of technology; for example, whether to increase access to
teaching materials outside the classroom or to make lectures more
interactive. Although there is no illusion amongst Higher Education
intuitions that technology is a panacea, it is clear that
technology is a vital tool in meeting expectations and one that
will be used more and more. Consequently the context of this book
is one in which technology needs to be understood as part of an
overall teaching practice. Technology continues to move on a pace
and is used increasingly within Higher Education to support and
enhance teaching and learning. There are books which are steeped in
technical detail and books which are steeped in theoretical
pedagogy with little discussion about the impact on learning and
student/teacher behaviour. Using Technology to Support Learning and
Teaching fills a gap in the market by providing a jargon free (but
pedagogically informed) set of guidance for teaching practitioners
who wish to consider a variety of ways in which technology can
enrich their practice and the learning of their students. It
integrates a wide range of example cases from different kinds of HE
institutions and different academic disciplines, illustrating
practicable pedagogies to a wide range of readers. It is full of
advice, hints and tips for practitioners wanting to use technology
to support a style of teaching and learning that is also built on
sound pedagogical principles. It will provide a quick user-friendly
reference for practitioners wanting to incorporate technology into
Higher Education in a way that adheres to their learning principles
and values . This book is primarily for teaching practitioners,
particularly those who are new to the industry.This book would also
prove useful on training courses for practitioners; such as the
Postgraduate Certificate for Higher Education. The authors also
intend that the book be of value to newer teachers (perhaps taking
teacher training programmes) who wish to see where recommended
approaches link to pedagogy.
