[elearning] In pursuit of research and data

[Kevork Krozian]

Hi Rob,

Sounds great. Looking forward to receiving the material as soon as you are able to forward it.
Interestingly there was some research probably in the last 18 months and widely covered in some newspaper headlines claiming the opposite - that technology/computers/mobile devices were actually lowering standards such as literacy and numeracy. I could try to dredge that up but I think the point is not the technology but HOW it is used and that means what the teacher is doing with it. The teacher is both the fulcrum and the lever and that is the key to the direction of the outcomes.

Speak soon

You need access to a university database. There is a growing literature on eLearning and ICT and achievement. I am happy to send you a stack of recent articles of list when I get back from my break.

Hi Folks,

 Just doing a trawl at present on data and research to support benefits of:

1.       Elearning in improving numeracy and literacy

2.       Digital interactive devices to improve learning

3.       Any other data that shows improvement in student learning outcomes with an of laptops, ipads, podcasts, vodcasts, adaptive technologies (learning and assessment activities react to student responses to adapt content based on student needs , weaknesses and performance). Eg. Cisco exams ask questions on the same theory area if a student appears to be weak in that area.


If any of my esteemed colleagues have been searching and do have material to share I would love to hear from you and share with you.

Speak soon
