To what extent will learning and teaching change in a mobile University? Thoughts from the University of Bath
This talk aims to future gaze into how the student learning experience is likely to change in terms of learning and teaching in a more mobile technology based university. The lens for the discussion will be from the perspective of the University of Bath, which has a tradition of placing the emphasis for learning and teaching on face-to-face interaction. Within this context, technology-enhanced learning tends to be a blended approach from online learning to classroom technologies. The discussion will focus on addressing two questions: if the majority of our students own a sophisticated mobile device how will this drive a change within the learning landscape? What role does the university play as an agent of change for the effective use of these technologies?
