Transformations and challenges to teaching and learning

Order Description New technologies have brought about some well-documented transformations and challenges to teaching and learning by affecting how information is received, understood, and applied. The thoughtful and strategic inclusion of these new tools in eLearning environments can turn the once static learning approaches, in which learners are consumers of information, into dynamic, collaborative interactions. These interactions facilitate knowledge creation using higher levels of critical thinking and building multiple layers of technological skills. Search the eLearning literature for seminal events that have categorically had an impact on the eLearning ecosystem. Then you will work within your Learning Community to determine the most pertinent events in the evolution of eLearning. To prepare: Search the Walden Library, the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) Journals, or the web to identify three breakthrough events in the evolution of eLearning. The events that you choose should represent an impact on social change and eLearning. Breakthrough events may be any of the following: Seminal research findings Significant changes in pedagogy Major changes in educational delivery methods Significant inventions that contributed to modes of instruction Social and/or political events Post the following to your Learning Community Discussion Thread : post your three selected events, along with a rationale for why you chose each breakthrough. Review the collection of events .Write a 1-paragraph rationale for each of the top three events explaining why you decided that they were the most pertinent events in the evolution of eLearning.
