Opportunistic Challenges: Teaching and Learning with ICT

by Susan Rodrigues

Overview

Challenges and opportunities in designing and using appropriate technology in various learning environments are explored here in this overview of information communication technology (ICT) initiatives in education. A key intention of the book is to report on the work of several researchers and product developers engaged in investigating the potential of ICT in learning environments in terms of users, computers, and organization. Chapters discuss implications for design of e-learning environments, and look at the influence of design on learning. Rodrigues is director of the Institute of Science Education in Scotland.
