Overview  Technology Enhanced Learning In Higher Education Today:  Drivers and Impediments of using Technology Enhanced Learning in HE  Emerging Trends in Technology Enhanced Learning Trends (Short term & Longer Term) 1

Drivers & Impediments Today Drivers : Impediments : ‒ Enhancing quality of ‒ Lack of Time (academic) learning and Teaching ‒ Lack of academic staff knowledge ‒ Expectations and ‒ Lack of Money Feedback of Students ‒ Lack of Institutional and ‒ Improving access to to Departmental culture learning for students ‒ Improving Administration processes (UCISA Survey of TEL in higher education in UK 2014)

Most Common Tools in use today Most Common Tool: Virtual Learning Environment: Blackboard, Moodle, … Other Tools (Centrally support) Plagiarism Detection e-Submission tools e-Porfolio e-assessment tools Lecture Capture Tools Personal response tools (UCISA 2014)

Most Common Tools in use today Tools used by Student (NOT Centrally supported) • Social Networking e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Google+ LinkedIn • Document sharing e.g. google doc, dropbox • Blogs e.g. Blogger • Social Bookmarking • Media Streaming e.g. You Tube • Screen Casting e.g. Camtasia, Jing (UCISA 2014)
