ELD Conference 2018

As digital learning experiences become increasingly ubiquitous in higher education, we need to be careful that the teacher-focused,sage-on-the-stage approach is not replaced by a software-focused, robot-in-the-sky approach that leaves the learner with a similar lack of agency in their own learning experiences. If instead we put learners at the center of the experience, and use digital tools to help foster a deeper connection between instructors and students, the metacognitive skills students gain help them in all of their coursework, and indeed, in their post-graduation life as well.
