Learning with e's

In a recent blog post, Antonio Teixera , President of EDEN wrote: "By just adding 21st century technologies to 20th century teaching practices we’ll only be diluting the effectiveness of teaching."

Digital capabilities and curiosity

Learning with e's

Here are my reflections on the learning and teaching conference held at Staffordshire University. It's not as simple as that, but engaging teaching usually motivates and inspires.

or not to lecture

Learning with e's

In my previous post I wrote that even though research shows lectures to be less than effective in helping students to learn, they still persist in higher education. I also promised to blog about some of the alternatives when it comes to teaching very large groups, and here it is. Photo by Steve Wheeler.or Unported License.

Learning in round spaces

Learning with e's

Situating learning in rectangular spaces naturally promotes some forms of pedagogy at the expense of others. Such organisation of tools and resources is fairly permanent and inflexible, and it is easy for teachers to lapse into ''teaching in the same way they themselves were taught''. Unported License.
