Teachers as designers of technology-enhanced learning

Description

For decades, scholarship on factors affecting curriculum implementation has pointed to the importance of involving teachers, to varying degrees, in shaping the learning scenarios in their own classrooms (Ben-Peretz, 1990). At the same time, recent technological developments have changed the nature of teacher design work. Today, teachers design, re-design, and tailor not only analogue, but also Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) materials and activities. Typical teacher design work is near-to-practice, involving critical reflection on and redesign of one’s personal practice (Raval, McKenney, & Pieters, 2010); evidence-based customization (Gerard, Spitulnik, & Linn, 2010); and/or team design within one organization (Voogt, Almekinders, van den Akker, & Moonen, 2005).
