Online technology revolution stops at classroom doors, report says - Rebecca Attwood, Times Higher Education UK
Mobile internet and social networking have found their way into the everyday lives of those on campus but have not yet followed university students and teachers into the classroom, a think-tank has claimed. A report published today by Demos argues that technology needs to become better ingrained into universities’ thinking about teaching and the student experience. It came as the Government announced a new task force that will aim to make UK higher education the first choice across the world for online distance learning. In support of that, the Government also launched a £10 million match-funding scheme. The Demos reports says many academics find it hard to envisage the possibilities technology affords, not least because they often “lack the basic skills” to use the new tools.
