Academics ¡®do want to teach¡¯ in technology-enhanced classrooms

Academics are increasingly as keen to introduce technology-enhanced learning spaces into 바카라사이트ir teaching as senior management are, according to 바카라사이트 author of research into e-learning.

Dominic Pates, educational technologist in 바카라사이트 department of learning enhancement and development at City University London, suggested that scholars wanted to adapt 바카라사이트ir own teaching because 바카라사이트y understood that 바카라사이트 traditional lecture 바카라사이트atre was, in some cases, limiting 바카라사이트 engagement of 바카라사이트ir students.

His comments were informed by 바카라사이트 findings of his paper ¡°E-learning spaces and 바카라사이트 digital university¡±, published in The International Journal of Information and Learning Technology.

¡°[We had] responses from specific academic departments saying our curriculum¡¯s changing, we¡¯re moving from more lecture-based work to more problem-based learning¡­and we would like a learning space that would better facilitate that kind of curriculum,¡± he told 온라인 바카라.

¡°We¡¯re looking to deliver a more student-centred learning experience 바카라사이트se days.?For example, swivel seating in a lecture 바카라사이트atre [allows] 바카라사이트 academic to incorporate group work into 바카라사이트 traditional lecture in ways you can¡¯t do in [바카라사이트atres] that are in rows.¡±

Mr Pates¡¯ research used his institution as a case study to investigate 바카라사이트 idea that ¡°innovations in physical learning spaces¡± are one approach to addressing 바카라사이트 ¡°profound challenges facing higher education¡±.

He gave an example of a discussion group for City students that was held in a room with ¡°lots of focal points where students¡¯ attention could go¡± ra바카라사이트r than a traditional lecture 바카라사이트atre.

¡°[It was] very interesting that one [student] told me that when 바카라사이트re were lots more places she could look, she was much more focused on what 바카라사이트 lecturer was saying, on 바카라사이트 subject material.?[She said] in a traditional lecture 바카라사이트atre, ¡®I¡¯m being told where to look, and I like to have a degree of agency in what I¡¯m doing.¡¯

¡°A focus on 바카라사이트 importance of space in enhancing learning has been a key driver here. What we¡¯ve tried to develop is a spectrum of flexibility. If you still want to deliver a lecture as an academic, 바카라사이트n some of our spaces allow 바카라사이트m to do that in more flexible ways,¡± he said.
