They see it as a means to engage learners, and as a way of making connections between school curricula and familiar territory. In mathematics, I have seen interactive whiteboards used very effectively to teach number bonds and floor robots can be used successfully to teach geometry and algorithms. But that is the problem.

Technology integration results in digital tools being embedded into learning, so that for example maker cultures emerge, or the classroom activities are flipped , supporting more effective pedagogies and improving student learning outcomes. Ultimately, technology should be integrated into education so that learning can be transformed.

It's safe to claim that much of higher education is firmly rooted in the past , reflecting colonial history, traditional values and 20th (or even 19th) Century pedagogies. This might be seen as a generalisation, because there are some pockets of innovative pedagogy to be found in every large education institution. Unported License.

If that occurs, you have networked learners. If new technology is introduced into a conservative environment, but the pedagogy doesn't change, there is little hope for any transformation.

This is assessment for learning (AfL) rather than assessment of learning, and it''s critical for good pedagogy. Testing in many schools is far too frequently administered in many schools to be effective and many exams still rely heavily on the testing of fact based learning - essentially the testing of crystallised intelligence.

It's clear that collaborative learning can be powerful, because it draws on the knowledge and skills of the entire team, but it is even more effective when there is a challenge to be met. Challenge based learning , coupled with learning through making is more powerful still, and can be adapted and applied across any age group of learners.

It's insidious, because bad theory that is accepted as fact without a full understanding of its implications, results in bad teaching, and ultimately, learners will suffer.

In contemporary web based education, presenting online learners with multiple choice questions to check their understanding is a low-level form of assessment.
