Enhancing Learning and Teaching Through the Use of Technology
Benefits may be felt at three different levels:
• efficiency (existing processes carried out in a more cost-effective, time-effective, sustainable or scalable manner)
• enhancement (improving existing processes and the outcomes)
• transformation (radical, positive change in existing processes or introducing new processes)

Efficiency
• Preparatory work (e.g. mastering pronunciation)
• Computer-marked quizzes: instant feedback
• Flipped Classroom
Enhancement
• Computer-marked quizzes: additional, targeted
exercises
• Vocabulary learning, e.g. spaced-repetition flashcard

• Text hyperlinked to morphology
Transformati

• Flipped Classroom
• Learning analytics
• Improved success rates
And the pedagogy is …?
• Student expectations• Style over substance?• How do we use the kit?• Tradition v innovation• Active v passive learning
… and other headaches
• Technical issues• Time and Money• ‘Fixed’ resources• Barriers to sharing
