More and more educational scenarios and learning landscapes are
developed using blogs, wikis, podcasts and e-portfolios. Web 2.0
tools give learners more control, by allowing them to easily
create, share or reuse their own learning materials, and these
tools also enable social learning networks that bridge the border
between formal and informal learning. However, practices of
strategic innovation of universities, faculty development,
assessment, evaluation and quality assurance have not fully
accommodated these changes in technology and teaching. Ehlers and
Schneckenberg present strategic approaches for innovation in
universities. The contributions explore new models for developing
and engaging faculty in technology-enhanced education, and they
detail underlying reasons for why quality assessment and evaluation
in new - and often informal - learning scenarios have to change.
Their book is a practical guide for educators, aimed at answering
these questions. It describes what E-learning 2.0 is, which basic
elements of Web 2.0 it builds on, and how E-learning 2.0 differs
from Learning 1.0. The book also details a number of quality
methods and examples, such as self-assessment, peer-review, social
recommendation, and peer-learning, using illustrative cases and
giving practical recommendations. Overall, it offers a step-by-step
guide for educators so that they can choose their own quality
assurance or assessment methods, or develop their own evaluation
methodology for specific learning scenarios. The book addresses
everyone involved in higher education - university leaders, chief
information officers, change and quality assurance managers, and
faculty developers. Pedagogical advisers and consultants will find
new insights and practices for the integration and management of
novel learning technologies in higher education. The volume fosters
in lecturers and teachers a sound understanding of the need and
strategy for change, and it provides them with practical
recommendations on competence and quality methodologies.
