Unit of Study: EDPC5023 - Innovative Practice & Emerging ICT
This core unit will examine how recent technological changes interact with the practices of teaching, learning and communication in a variety of settings, including schools and commercial organisations. We will also seek to anticipate future changes and predict how they will affect, and be adapted by, teaching nd learning practices, with the aid of systematic analysis methods for technology assessment and forecasting. Topics include: the fusion of computer and communication technologies, resulting in opportunities for mobile learning; the emergence of sematic web technologies, resulting in new educational web services; synergies between knowledge management and e-learning; and trends in language and voice technology. Our complementary analysis of educational practices will concentrate on (a) the work of individual teacher/trainers in integrating ICT into their activities, (b) organisational strategies for managing the appropriate use of new technology.
