This paper discusses the impact of e-learning tools on pedagogy, highlighting the need for educational institutions to adapt to rapidly changing information and communication technologies (ICT). It explores various e-learning tools, their strengths and weaknesses, and emphasizes the importance of selecting appropriate tools based on the specific needs of students and educators. The conclusion notes that while e-learning tools are not a comprehensive solution, they represent a critical starting point for making educational practices relevant in the 21st century.
The phrase " Technology in ELT " is simply a reference to the use of technology – audio, video, and multi-media – more of multi-media in modern times with computer and electronic technology recording several advances. However, it also relates to issues arising out of the use of such technology in an ELT class. It is a development that can be seen as correlated to what has come to be called e-learning, which began to be defined in the early years of this millennium. By all accounts, e-learning is a learner-friendly and learner-centred development that focuses on the learners' needs. Cross (2000) as " the convergence of learning and networks and the new Economy " , and Masie (2000) as " the use of network technology to design, deliver, select, administer, and extend learning ". Goodyear (2000) chooses to call it " the systematic use of networked multimedia computer technologies " for (a) the empowerment of the learners, (b) ensuring improvement in learning, (c) fulfilling the learners' needs by putting them in touch with human and other resources, and (d) putting together learning, learner performance, personal and institutional goals into a unified whole by bringing about their integration. Support for this is available in Egbert, Paulus and Nakamichi (2002), who cite from research reported by Lee (2000) and Warshauer & Healey (1998) which we have been able to access and confirm. We do not intend to give this the shape of a research paper and shall, therefore, focus the seven papers presented at that conference which are being published in this issue.
This chapter describes the use of educational technology for enhancing student learning at the School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications (EE&T) at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). Over the past decade, the school has introduced and trialled various technology-based approaches in the form of electronic whiteboard-based lectures for remote teaching, voice-over power-point screencasts using tablet PCs for tutorial problems, pre-recorded dynamically annotated lecture material delivered initially via DVDs and later hosted on the cloud as support material for live lectures, distributed laboratories capable of real-time interaction via video, audio and digital annotations, and most recently, the use of iPads to aid in lecture delivery. The impact of these approaches is evaluated in this chapter using student surveys over multiple years, some of which are still ongoing. The results of these surveys show that technology-based approaches have a positive impact on student learning experiences. In particular, the students found that the video capture of lectures with appropriate dynamic annotation as support material allowed for flexible learning to suit individual styles.
Towards Excellence, 2021
In recent years technology has changed dramatically. Due to the increasing need and accessibility of technology, it has expanded the toolbox and provides opportunities to the teachers for using technology. Computer devices are considered to be the more powerful tools which have come in various forms. The internet helps connect those devices and can connect students in the classrooms, through schools or around the world. Now a day, there is an availability of computers and interactive boards in schools, and the schools were connected as well as to the whole world providing high-speed network connectivity. Technology present in schools in the form of tablet devices, smartphones, and laptop computers are now used as a part and parcel of the teaching-learning process. The objective of the current study is to provide information about various technological tools that help enhance the teaching and learning process. These tools can help the teachers in creating, manipulating, using and sha...

Integrating technology and learning has become ubiquitous over the last few years. Access to emerging and innovative technologies has increased in both the private and public sectors. The prevalence of technology has influenced the number of individuals entering the field of instructional technology and instructional design. The increased need for schools, private business, and institutions of higher education to train their employees and faculty in the successful application of technology for education and training will continue to dominate most positions in the field. Therefore, the ability for researchers and practitioners to stay current and competent with these technologies can be a challenge. Whether these technologies are implemented in educational environments or for business and industry, the correct application to achieve intentional learning goals is imperative.
As we consider technology in education, we must consider the implications of that technology on the learner and as well as the teacher. What role does technology have for these two intertwined groups of people? I will show a correlation between the positive effects on both the student and teacher related to academic performance, meaningful learning, and those afflicted with learning disabilities. Furthermore, I will also show the positive effects on the applications of technologies in the classroom. Combining education and technology creates a more stimulating learning environment. In order to accomplish higher order thinking skills such as critical and independent thinking, the application of technology and improved motivation and attitudes, technology must be integrated into the everyday curriculum. This paper describes some impacts of technology on education through the experiences of teachers and students.

Technology continues to change the way we live, work, and play. Technology has a striking impact on learners and learning. Learning technologies can adapt to the needs, requirements and preferences of each individual user, therefore they can provide equal access to all. Learning technologies present the opportunity to augment or replace the role which was traditionally played by the teacher. Technology is also changing education in two ways: first, by offering new resources to engage students in learning, and second, by giving them an opportunity to learn about new technological fields. We would not dispute that a blackboard is a learning technology, but it is not the kind of artifact to focus. The fundamental interest is in how technologies expand human capabilities for knowledge creation, sharing, and learning, so the interest is in the technologies for learning. Today, we have an extraordinary technologies that range from Internet games to various types of handheld devices, and s...

Paper work, textbooks, written tests, handouts are becoming obsolete nowadays with the spreading of new communication technologies. The pace of it is so fast that scholars cannot catch up with the rapid changes. There is no unanimity in what to do with this technology, how to fully benefit it. Still there is a huge misunderstanding among the teachers, educators and professionals to what extent they can use information and communications technology (ICT).Is it enough to send e-mails or there is something else to be done? What is the reason for using ICT if there are reliable books, or students can obtain the information from the Internet on their own? One important point for my country (Russia) is the educators' unawareness of how to integrate in the EU educational system to correspond the requirements of the modern society. We exist in a situation when apart from statements of political leaders and organizations to cooperate there are still deep chasms to overcome. We all need unified regulations on what to consider ICT in education and how to provide it.
After over thirty years of teaching, I felt bored with my traditional technics and wanted to find some inspiration, as well as improvement. My motivation, to search for the updated coaching methods, was an eagerness to get my classes more challenging and more exciting. Determining how to teach with technology has assisted me to make progress as an instructor and a scholar. Educational activity with technology can deepen student learning by supporting instructional objectives. Nevertheless, it can be challenging to choose the “best” tech tools while not losing sight of your destinations for student scholarship. In the classroom, technology can encompass all sorts of tools from low-tech pencil, newspaper publisher, and chalkboard, to the utilization of presentation software, or high-tech tablets, online collaboration, and conferencing tools, and more. The new technologies allow us to try things in physical and virtual classrooms that were not possible before. What you use depends fundamentally on what you are attempting to reach.
This chapter is to challenge the research opportunity of media literacy in the twenty-first-century learning environment. Different technologies with human-computer interaction are addressed in this section as two different main structures. The relationships between these two structures are constructed as matrices. One of these structures is constituted by the educational technologies of the twenty-first century. The second is the learning framework of the twenty-first century. The research will be done using content analysis of the technologies used and learning frameworks. Based on the data obtained, this study will attempt to demonstrate that teachers can provide more effective and productive instruction using humancomputer interaction. This section will hopefully provide information to teachers and students about suitable learning environments designed for the use of and in conformance with twenty-first-century skills with the use of innovative technologies, and technologies they should use in these environments.

Article History Published Online: 10 June 2019 Classroom delivery in the higher education sector is changing with the application of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Greater information access, real time communication, cooperation and collaboration, cost-effectiveness and pedagogical enhancement have led to adoption and incorporation of ICTs in classrooms of higher learning. Technological circumstances and socio-economic issues have been a barrier to permeation of ICTs in the echelons of higher learning. This paper discusses the challenges of implementing the new technologies in Universities and sharing the approaches to addressing each challenge.

Technology is leading to Multi Modal teaching, changing curricula and spawning rich forms of online research and collaboration. Learning technologies can play a supporting role in learning and teaching activities. They provide opportunities to complement face-to-face teaching with 24/7 access to resources such as Virtual Learning Environments, enable students to participate in online learning communities; help combat plagiarism through the use of program’s such as Turnitin, and offer alternatives to face-to-face delivery through e-learning. Corporate Information and Computing Services (CiCS) offers support to guide technical challenges for both teacher students in using learning technologies. CiCS staff can help you maximise the use of tools such as My Online Learning Environment (MOLE) to develop your confidence in the virtual environment of discussion forum and chat rooms (LeTS 2015). At NYU’s top-ranked tax law programme, for instance, classroom courses are filmed with three cameras and a sound mixer. “The course goes online within 30 minutes,” says Delaney. “Within 24 hours, students interested in reviewing a certain case or topic can click an online index that charts the content of the entire class and [can] view the portion that interests them(1).” nline collaboration tools would make the greatest contribution in terms of improving educational quality over the next five years—the top response—to the dynamic delivery of content and software that supports individually paced learning. Sophisticated learning-management systems and enhanced video and presentation tools are among other innovations.
