Betty Collis & Jef Moonen: Learning Technology

Introductions

Although we have experience with many different forms of technology to support learning, what we are most committed to is the idea of technology as a learning workbench:

For us, technology is not for “delivering” learning or for taking the humans out of learning, but is rather is a set of tools, a locally tailorable workbench, which offers affordances to empower people to share, build, support, and manage their learning together, in their common context.

In our book “Technology as a Learning Workbench”, which is available via the Resources section of this site, we discuss this in detail, with many examples.
