[A2] How can technology enhance learning
Published as a poster in June 2012, this analysis was the culmination of years of developing understanding. It proposes features of the use of computers mapped on to the expressive constructivism model of learning, thus detailing ways in which technology can enhance learning.
The expressive constructivism model of learning directs my attention towards the learner as an active, creative individual who is best served by tools for expression on the one hand and by tools for evaluation on the other.
This forms the basis of this analysis of key features of technology (the terms in the speech bubbles) that might enhance expression and evaluation. In turn this clarifies the basis for choosing aspects of technology to incorporate into designs, and to see what might be missing. The analysis also acts as a framework for decision making when comparing technologies for their likely effectiveness in learning situations.
