Deeper Learning Versus Surface Learning: The SAMR Model to Assess E-Learning Pedagogy

摘要

Designing e-learning tasks that are built around emerging web-based tools and mobile technology enhance learning and truly transform the learning experience, where students experience deeper learning. The SAMR model helps assess the extent to which any instructional technology tool is used to achieve a transformative level of learning and understanding, making sure that the tool is contributing to deeper learning. The paper looks at two case studies and evaluates the depth of knowledge and learning achieved through traditional pedagogy and e-pedagogy.
