Teaching and Learning with Technology
Introduction
The focus of educational technology has shifted from improving the
efficiency of administration to inspiring pedagogical innovation and improving
the learning experience. In today’s environment, institutions are under
increasing pressure to demonstrate educational outcomes, to tailor instruction
to meet the specific learning needs of different students and to foster active
learning. Effective use of technology is a key means of addressing these
challenges.
Objectives
The goal of many forward-thinking institutions is to establish a
Networked Learning Environment (NLE), in which any student or
teacher can view instructional content, collaborate with educators, evaluate
academic performance and access any learning resource at any time in order to
achieve their educational objectives. Building a NLE enables institutions to
realize important benefits such as student-centered learning, greater
instructor efficiency, anytime anywhere access, improved evaluation and
outcomes management and access to high quality learning content.
To achieve the promise of the NLE and to improve learning outcomes,
institutions around the world are using the Blackboard
Learning System™ to:
-
Create powerful learning content, using a variety of different web-based tools.
-
Bring world class publisher content into the e-Learning experience.
-
Develop custom learning paths for individuals or groups.
-
Facilitate student participation, communication and collaboration using tools
that enable synchronous and asynchronous interaction.
-
Evaluate students’ work using a rich set of assessment capabilities.
