Exploring learning technologies
12 May 2009
The Handbook of Emerging Technologies for Learning by George Siemens and Peter Tittenberger from the University of Manitoba has been designed as a resource tool for educators planning to incorporate technologies into their teaching and learning activities.
Handbook of Emerging Technologies for Learning
Publisher: University of Manitoba, March 2009
The Handbook of Emerging Technologies for Learning (HETL) has been developed for a workshop delivered to Athabasca University faculty and reflects several years work at the Learning Technologies Centre at the University of Manitoba.
Distance and online universities such as Athabasca, are well positioned to play a bridging role between tradition and emergence in transforming higher education.
Universities that recognize the value of online learning and are able to “get the model right” will be well positioned to respond creatively to developing change pressures.
To extend the dialogue on the concepts expressed in the book and to
ensure that the information is current, a wiki has been set up to
solicit feedback, contributions, reactions and present updates: http://ltc.umanitoba.ca/etl.
The workbook also supports and leads into the Certificate in Emerging Technologies for Learning (http://ltc.umanitoba.ca/blogs/cetl/) offered by the University of Manitoba’s Learning Technologies Centre and Extended Education.
