Abstract
A fundamental assumption in education is that the successful integration of technology in language classrooms can lead to improved teaching and learning. However, researchers often report that the implementation of technology by teaching practitioners remains much more limited than expected due to personal, institutional, and technological factors that influence teachers' decision to integrate technology. This limitation is augmented by the exigencies of a new learning ecology in which ubiquitous learning - accessing content and interaction from anywhere and at any time - is born out due to ubiquitous computing - everyday learning environments supported by mobile devices, embedded computers, and wireless networks. To address these limitations, we report on OLE - an e-tool we have created to offer teachers the opportunity to deliver technologically-infused lessons complete with warmers, formative assessments, and provisions for fun-based homework. Equally, OLE offers learners the chance to access lessons ubiquitously and to interact with teachers and peers synchronously and asynchronously.
期刊介绍:
IJTEL focuses on promoting and disseminating research in e-learning and distance education worldwide. It encourages multidisciplinary research in online learning/teaching, technology-enabled design and deployment of academic programmes, teaching projects and initiatives, emerging technologies and applications, blended online and face-to-face teaching modes, materials and pedagogy. IJTEL aims: to provide holistic, multidisciplinary discussion on technology-enhanced learning research; to promote international collaboration and the exchange of ideas/know-how on technology-enhanced learning; and to investigate strategies on how technology-enhanced learning can promote sustainable development. Topics covered include: -Technology enhanced learning (TEL) domain -Key issues: effective strategies, learning models/theories -ICT deployment in education: policy, integration, extensibility, interoperability -Pedagogical theories/models, constructivist approaches -Collaborative/context aware/personalised approaches -Communities of learners -Web 2.0, semantic web -Adaptive/personalised hypermedia, metadata/content standards -Free/open source software, ubiquitous/pervasive/grid technologies -Intelligent agents, learning management systems, emerging technologies -TEL practices in different educational/learning contexts -Surveys of TEL adoption in education -TEL tools/emerging technologies, new generation TEL -Government policies for TEL promotion -Challenges, future of TEL, roadmaps for the future
