Trends in education technology in higher education
Trends are important to us as researchers and practitioners in higher education (Boer et al., 2002). Trends influence decisions about funding for research, decisions about organisational infrastructure, and the establishment of new degrees. The dictionary definition of trend is a general direction in which something is developing or changing, and also a fashion. According to these definitions, a trend is both measurable with evidence that confirm…
Enabling adaptive, personalised and context-aware interaction in a smart learning environment: Piloting the iCollab system
Smart learning environments (SLE) provide students with opportunities to interact with learning resources and activities in ways that are customised to their particular learning goals and approaches. A challenge in developing SLEs is providing resources and tasks within a single system that can seamlessly tailor learning experience in terms of time, place, platform, and form.
