New Science of Learning: Cognition, Computers and Collaboration in Education
About this ebook
The New Science of Learning: Cognition, Computers and Collaboration in Education deftly explores the multiple relationships found among these critical elements in students’ increasingly complex and multi-paced educational experience. Starting with instructors’ insights into the cognitive effects of digital media—a diverse range of viewpoints with little consensus—this cutting-edge resource acknowledges the double-edged potential inherent in computer-based education and its role in shaping students’ thinking capabilities. Accordingly, the emphasis is on strategies that maximize the strengths and compensate for the negative aspects of digital learning, including:
- Group cognition as a foundation for learning
- Metacognitive control of learning and remembering
- Higher education course development using open education resources
- Designing a technology-oriented teacher professional development model
- Supporting student collaboration with digital video tools
- Teaching and learning through social annotation practices
The New Science of Learning: Cognition, Computers and Collaboration in Education brings emerging challenges and innovative ideas into sharp focus for researchers in educational psychology, instructional design, education technologies, and the learning sciences.
