Material Detail

In all the discussion about learning management systems, open educational resources (OER), massive open online courses (MOOCs), social media, options for assessment, learning analytics, new forms of credentials, and augmented and virtual reality, perhaps the most important issues, concern how technology is changing the way we teach and - more importantly - the way students learn. For want of a better term, we call this "pedagogy."

What is clear is that major changes in the way we teach post-secondary students are being triggered by online learning and the new technologies that increase flexibility in, and access to, post-secondary education.

In looking at what these pedagogical changes are and their implications for students, faculty, staff, and institutions, we highlight:

• Seven key developments in online learning and how they impact our understanding of pedagogy;
• More than 60 examples of applications of these developments in innovations in colleges and universities in Ontario, across Canada, and internationally, selected from Contact North
• Seven questions for you to consider about the implications of changes in pedagogy and student learning.
