Description:
This conference will provide a forum to explore the research evidence
available of the possible ways and the degree to which the use of
different learning technologies may help to improve student learning.
The prime focus will be on the implications of the use of learning technologies on teaching and learning rather than on the technology itself.
The major aim of this symposium is to bring together those who are primarily researchers into learning in higher education, learning technologists responsible for supporting the development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in teaching and learning, and teachers in higher education who are interested in improving their practice. The phrase 'learning technologies' was deliberately chosen to encompass the widest possible range of applications going beyond ICT based activities such as computer-aided assessment, computer-mediated discussion, on-line course delivery, electronic portfolios, and student-created web pages to potentially include all audio-visual media such as audio-tape and video as well.
Over the past eight years the Improving Student Learning Symposium has welcomed a wide international audience with participants from over 27 countries.
Themes: Sessions for the symposium have been grouped under the following four questions: How do students learn using learning technologies (LTs)? How can course design using LTs assist student learning? How can we research student learning using LTs? How can we successfully innovate/disseminate the use of LTs?
