ICT Based Learning Environments: What Are The Current Research Streams?: Working Group 3.3

摘要

The growing use of ICT materials and tools was considered by the group in relation to key issues about how the evolving ICT based learning can be effectively integrated into different learning environment and subject areas. Participants considered three metaphors which represent the evolution of ICT based learning environments; namely, transmission, learner centred and participation. The main issues emerging from the discussion were a change in the whole learning situation (i.e., the tool, teacher, curriculum objectives and organisation of the learning process) as well as the effects and implication of factors affecting the learning environments. All these offer great opportunities and challenges which we believe requires research to establish and create a forum for a proper debate to resolve the issues concerned.
