Beskrivning

Online and Blended Postsecondary Learning provides a comprehensive yet accessible synthesis of new knowledge about the benefits and challenges of technology-enabled teaching and learning in higher education.Summarizing the last ten years of research, trends, and strategic issues in online and blended learning, this book draws from major studies and meta-analyses as well as original scholarship to present a coherent and balanced account of digital learning’s opportunities and limitations. Across ten chapters, the authors illustrate how empirical research and professional practice have evolved in light of the explosion of urgency around remote learning and the widespread consumer availability of artificial intelligence tools. They review theoretical underpinnings of how students learn and explain how the affordances of current and emerging technologies can support effective, evidence-based instructional approaches. The authors then discuss institutional contexts for supporting effective practices, an increasingly critical issue in the age of AI. The book explores how the intentional design of blended in-person and online learning can optimally leverage affordances of technology while maintaining essential interpersonal aspects of students’ academic experiences.Researchers, graduate students, and teaching faculty in educational technology, learning sciences, and instructional design programs, as well as administrators of university teaching and learning centers and online programs, will come away well-equipped to make informed decisions about policy and practice in a landscape that is changing rapidly, full of obstacles, and in need of enduring, foundational principles of teaching and learning.

Recensioner i media

“Barbara Means and Rebecca Griffiths offer everyone interested in the future of higher education and meaningful student learning a clear-eyed view of the current research and theory related to teaching and technology along with an informed and thoughtful roadmap for the way forward. Providing accessible summaries of complex scholarly literature, frameworks to interpret often over-hyped claims about ed tech and AI, and practical recommendations for centering people, the socioemotional elements of learning, and the promotion of uniquely human qualities and capacities as we navigate an AI-integrated society, this book is essential reading for higher ed instructors, instructional designers, researchers, policymakers, and funders alike. I, for one, took great comfort in the balanced, sane, and human-centric wisdom contained in this important new volume.”-Flower Darby, Author and Associate Director, University of Missouri Teaching for Learning Center“This important book highlights theory- and evidence-based insights for improving online and blended post-secondary learning. Research shows the bankruptcy of claims that modern edtech can dramatically change how people learn, retaining quality while minimizing the role of human instructors. Instead, all stakeholders in higher education can apply the authors’ practical, proven strategies, complementing traditional assessments with new ways of measuring value and matriculating students with the human-centric skills employers want.”-Chris Dede, Senior Research Fellow, Harvard University“We’re living through unprecedented technological change, and education is still catching up. It's more important than ever to understand what does and what does not work in online education. We need to be able to separate the effective methods from those that are merely common or traditional. In Online and Blended Postsecondary Learning: An Evidence-Based Perspective, Barbara Means and Rebecca Griffiths provide a comprehensive and meticulous discussion of what supports effective online learning.”-Julie Dirkson, Learning Strategy and Design Expert“Online and Blended Postsecondary: An Evidence-based Perspective, provides a much-needed update for researchers, instructional designers, practitioners, students, policy makers and anyone interested in the facts behind the often-distorted headlines. This book is a treasure.”-Dr. Peter Shea, Editor-in-Chief, Online Learning Journal
