Types of Educational Technology

Image
The goal of this post is simple: To provide examples of learning technology–identifying and clarifying what learning technology ‘is’ and ‘looks like’ in and out of the classroom. Education technology is the application of new tools and ideas that help teachers teach and students learn. Education technology can  automate  processes,  improve  information access,  enable  sharing of knowledge and data,  duplicate  information between media forms,  curate  important knowledge,  communicate  ideas,  visualize  critical concepts, and more. What are the different types of educational technology? Learning Achievements/Badges Podcasting Gamification Video Games Interactive Whiteboards (e.g., Google Jamboard) Learning Management Systems (Moodle, Google Classroom, etc.) Asynchronous Learning Platforms (often a part of learning management systems but not always) Online collaboration spaces (e.g., Microsoft Teams) The Cloud Adaptive Learning Algorithms Voice Search Haptic Response Blockchain Augme

Four Theories Behind Adaptive Learning

   1. Metacognitive Theory This theory focuses on how to help learners understand their style of learning. It's also called the self-awareness metacognitive theory, and learners are provided with processes that enable them to rethink their thoughts. As long as learners can identify their knowledge gap, it becomes easier for them to unlock their potential and become more productive. 2. Deliberate Practice Theory Another theory that powers the personalization behind adaptive learning is the theory of deliberate practice. It emphasizes why it's essential for learners to understand their weaknesses. Based on this theory, an adaptive learning system offers learners new content by modifying the existing one according to their weaknesses. 3. Theory of Fun for Game Design The theory of fun for game design is another theory that powers the personalization behind adaptive learning. And to balance the theory of deliberate practice, which suggests how learners can challenge themselves, the

Adaptive Learning

Image
  Adaptive learning, or adaptive teaching, is an educational method which uses computers to interact with the learner and deliver customized resources and learning activities to address the unique needs of each learner. Computers adapt the presentation of educational material according to students' learning needs, as indicated by their responses to questions, tasks and experiences.  Adaptive learning has been partially driven by a realization that tailored learning cannot be achieved on a large-scale using traditional, non-adaptive approaches.  Adaptive learning systems endeavour to transform the learner from passive receptor of information to collaborator in the educational process. They have been designed as desktop computer applications, web applications, and are now being introduced into overall curricula.

   It is the branch of knowledge concerned with research and theory about instructional strategies . In addition to that, it is the process of developing and implementing interactive activities through determining the current state and needs of the learner, defining the end goal of instruction, and creating some interventions to assist in the transition. The most common model used in Instructional Design is ADDIE model:

The secret of getting ahead is getting started. So; remember, what you believe, you can achieve. Welcome to this weblog! It's Abdallah Ghannam! I would like to share my experience as a master’s graduate of E-training and as an English literature graduate. It’s a great deal to share with you what I have reached, and hear from you any additional information. The content of this blog motivates teachers and staff to integrate technology in a pedagogical context that provides some remedy for many students who find themselves alienated by traditional methods of instruction.
