Publisher Description: Students today need to learn effectively online. This book provides ways to develop successful online learners in all types of context - fully online or blended, or technology-enriched traditional teaching. The topics covered are wide-ranging. They include: self-organisation and self-awareness; contributing and collaborating; personalizing the learning environment; maximising time on task; and developing practices for lifelong learning. Research has shown that although learners in higher education may be familiar with using technology in their social lives, they do not always use effective strategies when learning online. Drawing on research into student experiences, this book provides 53 practical ideas for teachers and lecturers. Each idea provides a learning activity to help students develop their study skills and habits, so that they can learn confidently and effectively in the digital age. The book is designed to dip into for ideas that dovetail with teachers' own practice. |
