Description
Summary:Present educational technology creates a multitude of options for designing and delivering higher education courses – finding a proper set-up of teaching strategies and corresponding teaching and learning tools, i.e., interlinking them purposefully and meaningfully, however, presents a profound challenge to course instructors when (re-)designing their courses. Based on the assumption that more experience reports discussing ‘failure’ and ‘success’ will help us better understand how to seize the potentialities of 21st century technology for higher education teaching, we have invited four discussants who have experimented with innovative educational technology in different ways and course settings,and have asked them about their teaching experiences and the feedback they received from participating students.
