Designing Learning with Digital Technologies (eBook, PDF)

Perspectives from Multimodality in Education
Redaktion: Lim, Fei Victor; Querol-Julián, Mercedes

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book offers a multimodal perspective on how to design meaningful learning experiences with digital technologies.

Digital education is of increasing importance in today's digital society and the editors bring together international thought-leaders and well-established academics across geographical regions to explore the topic. The book addresses the need to design learning with digital technologies, especially in a post-pandemic environment where blended learning has become ubiquitous. The book is organised around five themes: designing learning, digital learning designs, digital learning with embodied teaching, digital learning interactions, and digital multimodal literacies. The chapters focus on digital technologies as multimodal semiotic resources and the educational implication of each theme is drawn out from illustrative cases across contexts of learning.

Essential reading for researchers and postgraduate students, this book offers state-of-the-art thinking on how educators can design new learning experiences for students through the meaningful and effective use of digital technologies.

"The research reported in the chapters of this book captures the rich professional lives of highly motivated and forward-thinking teachers. The authors show the ways in which these teachers use a dazzling array of technologies to bring multimodal learning into their classrooms. Every teacher we encounter in the book is a designer of rich learning. As such, each is a designer of our collective futures."

William Cope, Professor, Educational Policy, Organization & Leadership, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, United States of America

"The book's editors and contributors are experts in the fields of teaching and learning, digital and computer technology, language, and communication... Readers will find that this book offers constructive insights into theoretical and practical issues."

Rohmatulloh Rohmatulloh, Lecturer, Universitas Islam An Nur Lampung, Book Review in Open Learning: The Journal of Open, Distance and e-Learning

"Readers interested in digital technologies' implications in education, effective use to enhance student learning, and facilitating meaningful multimodal engagement will not be disappointed. I value its explicit theoretical underpinnings and analytical frameworks, grounded in relevant principles. New research and professional learning proposed show great promise for our collective futures, with the same vigour and ethos as envisaged by the New London Group."

Caroline Ho, Lead Specialist, English Language Institute of Singapore, Ministry of Education, ELIS Book Recommendations

"The volume's engagement with post-pandemic realities is both current and relevant, responding to current teaching demands while offering critical reflections on how digital learning has evolved. Now, a few years on, what was once described as the post-pandemic period increasingly appears not as a temporary phase but as a structural feature of contemporary education. For this reason, Designing Learning with Digital Technologies offers timely insights and frameworks that hopefully align with and help shape this ongoing transformation, in support of educators and researchers."
