During the last decade, the Internet has driven some of the most significant changes in higher education. Since information and communication technologies (ICTs) impact how we educate, teach, and learn, researchers, teachers, and other stakeholders in higher education must be prepared to meet students with uses of educational technology that are designed with reflection and research.

Informed Design of Educational Technologies in Higher Education: Enhanced Learning and Teaching presents recent and important theoretical and practical advances in educational technology design in higher education, examining their possibilities for enhancing teaching and learning. This volume includes discussions of technologies and applications grounded in legitimate learning theories and from an ethical perspective that emphasizes mutual understanding.

Reviews & Statements

"Higher education is not the same as 30 years ago, partly due to technologies, partly to other factors. This book contributes to our understanding of our technologies have influenced the complex ecosystems of higher education institutions. [...] The lessons learned, collected in this book, will inform the design of technologies that penetrate educational ecosystems."

– Professor Pierre Dillenbourg, Ph.D., Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland
