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.
