Technology-enhanced, collaborative and blended learning settings
can promote more effective approaches to teaching, learning and
assessment when context, agency and individual characteristics are
taken into account. This book presents critical insight into the
theoretical and practical progress made towards establishing
effective, valid and reliable strategies for using and evaluating
such approaches, and the challenges and implications of doing so.
Topics explored include technology-enhanced learning and student
evaluations; student engagement and the perception of teaching
quality; instructional design and assessment strategies; blended
network and mobile technologies for enriching learning and for
monitoring and assessment; and the motivations of students to
engage with evaluation. Contributors examine issues such as the
underlying variabilities in student evaluation of teaching; the
implications of inherited cultural and pedagogic practices for
educators using collaborative and blended learning; and the
international empirical progress in research to understand and
measure interactions between cognition, successful learning, and
individual difference in technology-augmented settings. This book
will be an essential resource for international researchers and
undergraduate and postgraduate students wishing to gain a deeper
understanding of the leading perspectives and insights into
technology enhanced, blended and collaborative learning, as well as
for practitioners and policy makers interested in technology
applications in education and training in varied pedagogical and
cultural settings. This book was originally published as a special
issue of Educational Research and Evaluation.
