28599 - Technologies of Education

Course contents

The course places the problem of contemporary educational technologies in the debate on the profound transformation of the instruments of educative communication and teaching mediation within an overall expansion and redefinition of the concept of education. In this context, the course critically analyzes all the instrumental and methodological opportunities where educators are called  to exercise their right-duty choice according to the quality of the services objectives  and projects  they work for and the quality of specific contents of their training programme.

 

From a general reconnaissance on various interpretative models of educational technologies, the course proposes:

 

a) to analyse the concepts of multimediality and interactivity, typical of the new high electronic educational environments;

b) to face the problem of the technological qualification of educational experience lived in the new context of telematic tools development, with particular reference to scenarios of e-learning;

c) to identify the new perspectives of didactic qualification for educators, who are called to consciously operate in the complex panorama of the new technologies.

This is a blended learning course.

The e-learning part is titled “Society of knowledge, educational systems and ICT”. Themes we take into account regard the society of knowledge and the new technologies of information and communication, the new elements connected to the oncoming of technologies, the educative implications linked to these phenomena.
