Gone are the days when learning was restricted to the classroom, with the instructor being the primary source of knowledge. Digital technology has unshackled learning, providing learners a wealth of opportunities to learn what they want to learn, how they want to learn, and where they want to learn with just a few clicks of the mouse.

I am best known, no doubt, for my criticism of education technology. Often when I say that I think that the “Domain of One’s Own” initiative is one of the most important education technologies, I always hear pushback from the Twitter riffraff. The technologies were not, at the outset, proprietary.

I was a guest speaker in the MA in Elearning class at Cork Institute of Technology this morning. I don't want to come off today as making broad sweeping statements about all of education everywhere when I'm very much talking about the education system in the US and the education technology industry in the US. And that's surveillance.

However, as we become increasingly connected to each other through technology, and our social ties strengthen, so there is greater scope for students to learn together, sharing their resources and ideas, and approaching their study collaboratively. MOOCs take learning even farther away from the classroom. But it's far from perfect.

Activities are not mandatory, but can supplement and enhance traditional, classroom based provision. References Wheeler, S., Yeomans, P. and Wheeler, D.

Teachers can harness this principle in the design of just about anything from the layout of the classroom to the design of a learning resource. The user interface on most VLE/LMS technologies is often too complex for students, who spend much more time trying to navigate and discover content than they do actually learning that content.

Many of the other commercially available LMS (learning management systems) and VLE (virtual learning environment) platforms aren’t doing any better. To ignore the potential that online learning and new technology has to offer is to be like King Canute trying to order back the sea. And of course Moodle isn’t the only culprit.

This was the first time in a while I had been asked to teach such long courses and i thought it was a great opportunity to see if I could fundamentally change the way the teachers related to technology, not just in the classroom as a tool for teaching learners, but as a tool within their everyday working practice.

I think because I started to sound a bit like a fervent preacher when I started talking about teaching, learning and technology. I was a green 26 year-old and I had no idea what I was doing, but I really loved being in the classroom and tripping out on early American texts with students. And it quickly resonated with a lot of people.

Every year since 2010, I’ve undertaken a fairly massive project in which I’ve reviewed the previous twelve months’ education and technology news in order to write ten articles covering “the top ed-tech trends.” ’” “She didn’t say anything positive about technology, dammit.”
