- On Technology Enhanced Learning

A historical perspective on TEL

Posted on | October 8, 2007 | 3 Comments

I have tried to establish a time-line that illustrates the development of technology enhanced learning (TEL) in relation to pedagogical developments. However, it turned out to be harder than I expected, and there are several variations of the history to be found. All with their specific focus and perspective.

You can see my first attempt below. Please, feel free to comment on it!

    It still says “training” – what about personalization?

    To me, there are multiple dimensions, somewhat visible in your diagram, but that can be made more explicit.

    1. Technology: from pen&paper to hypertext to ITS to WWW to Web2.0 to SemWeb etc
    1.1: TEL Standards: LOM, LD, OKI, etc
    2. Pedagogy: Your arrow at the top
    3. Learner context: ellipses in the middle (i.e. what the learner does)
    4. Social context: teacher => learner push, learner learner, asynchronous webbased L2L
    5. interaction: broadcast vs. P2P with personalization
    6. etc

    Just some ideas…
