Technology-Enhanced Learning in Higher Education is an anthology
produced by the international association, Learning in Higher
Education (LiHE). LiHE, whose scope includes the activities of
colleges, universities and other institutions of higher education,
has been one of the leading organisations supporting a shift in the
education process from a transmission-based philosophy to a
student-centred, learning-based approach. Traditionally education
has been envisaged as a process in which the teacher disseminates
knowledge and information to the student, and directs them to
perform - instructing, cajoling, encouraging them as appropriate -
despite different students' abilities. Yet higher education is
currently experiencing rapid transformation, with the introduction
of a broad range of technologies which have the potential to
enhance student learning. This anthology draws upon the experiences
of those practitioners who have been pioneering new applications of
technology in higher education, highlighting not only the
technologies themselves but also the impact which they have had on
student learning. The anthology illustrates how new technologies -
which are increasingly well-known and accepted by today's 'digital
natives' undertaking higher education - can be adopted and
incorporated. One key conclusion is that learning remains a social
process even in technology-enhanced learning contexts. So the
technology-based proxies we construct need to retain and reflect
the agency of the teacher. Technology-Enhanced Learning in Higher
Education showcases some of the latest pedagogical technologies and
their most creative, state-of-the-art applications to learning in
higher education from around the world. Each of the chapters
explores technology-enhanced learning in higher education in terms
of either policy or practice. They contain detailed descriptions of
approaches taken in very different curriculum areas, and
demonstrate clearly that technology may and can enhance learning
only if it is designed with the learning process of students at its
core. So the use of technology in education is more linked to
pedagogy than it is to bits and bytes.
