Best Practice Guide on Technology Enhanced Learning Following a call for case studies earlier in the year, the UCISA Academic Support Group has now put together a Best Practice Guide on engaging academics in the use of Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL). The guide contains ten case studies which look at a variety of methods for engaging academics such as: * Setting up communities of practice; * Developing intensive training and support programmes; * Incorporating TEL into Postgraduate Certificate courses; * Encouraging academics to publish their research in TEL. Each case study describes the activity and the approach taken, provides an evaluation of the activity and discusses future developments and transferability.

The use of digital technologies is now widespread and increasing, but is not always optimized for effective learning. Teachers in higher education have little time or support to work on innovation and improvement of their teaching, which often means they simply replicate their current practice in a digital medium. This paper makes the case for a learning design support environment to support and scaffold teachers' engagement with and development of technology-enhanced learning, based on user requirements and on pedagogic theory. To be able to adopt, adapt, and experiment with learning designs, teachers need a theory-informed way of representing the critical characteristics of good pedagogy as they discover how to optimize learning technologies. This paper explains the design approach of the Learning Design Support Environment project, and how it aims to support teachers in achieving this goal.

Incredibly interesting article about the use of technology and how it can positively and negatively effect learning. As stated in our discussions earlier this week, the use of technology can - at times - undermine the real classroom experience. In the case of sites which are explained in this article, I think it highlights the need and importance of 'real' classroom learning to help with questions and curb cheating.

This New York Times article describes how several colleges and universities around the nation are minimizing costs due to the current economic crisis. Schools like Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania and Bryn Mawr College are holding virtual swim meets to save on travel expenses, while other schools are cutting custodial and other staff positions in an effort to save money. Giving students the opportunity to gain work experience by taking on professional staff positions has saved Rhodes College almost $750,000. Although many schools are doing their part to save money, in several cases it has turned out to be beneficial for students and has eliminated unnecessary costs and expenses for many colleges and universities.

The experiences of Chinese learners on two e‐learning programmes in China were investigated, focusing particularly on the formation of learning communities. Data were collected using a range of instruments to access the learners' perspectives in depth and detail. Archer's account of reflexivity as the mediating power between structure and agency is applied to understanding how learners succeeded in one programme in forming a learning community, through their negotiated responses to the existing structural and cultural conditions, whereas little evidence was found of the emergence of learning community in the other case. Further understanding emerges from reappraisal of Confucian philosophy of learning and social relationships, how these influenced the participants' prior learning experiences and how they play a part in their responses to the e‐learning experience.
