Pedagogy vs. technology
• “Learning is the desired outcome and technology is the enabler or enhancer” (Kinash, Knight, McClean, 2015)
• “It is a fallacious deterministic notion to state that technology can enable learning” (Selwyn, 2012)
• “trying to create pedagogy anew- we should be in the business of locating the new technologies within proven practices and models of teaching.” (Beetham & Sharpe, 2014)

• design patterns for learning framework, and will examine firstly the problem, the context and the outline a solution.(Maina & Mor 2015, Laurillard 2012)
