Emerging Technologies and Changing Teaching
and Learning Practices
Current context
Johnson & Adams (2011:3)
‘schools, colleges and universities are
attempting to teach knowledge and
skills for jobs that no longer exist, and
…teachers are not fully involved in
educational innovation and curriculum
development’.
Open University Innovating Pedagogy (2012:7)
“Although lecturers and students are seemingly embracing emerging technologies
enthusiastically, it is taking longer for institutions and policy makers to adopt and implement
them. Institutions and policy makers are not yet fully engaging with these technologies to
understand the usefulness of these technologies and therefore administrative policies may slow
down or halt adoption.”

Emerging Technologies in Higher Education: A guide for HE practitioners
Although the use of emerging technologies
is on the rise in Higher Education globally
and locally, it is seldom used in a way that
facilitates transformative teaching and
learning.

the innovations are
not independent, but
fit together into a new

education that
transcends boundaries
between formal and
informal settings,
institutional and selfdirected learning, and

Emerging Technologies in South
African Higher Education
‘ICTs in South African HE’ NRF project
How could qualitative
outcomes in education
be realised by using
emerging technologies
to transform teaching
and learning
interactions and
paradigms across
higher education
institutions in South
Africa?
Phase 1 of Project - Survey
In what ways are
emerging
technologies used in
innovative
pedagogical practices
to transform teaching
and learning across
South African HEIs?
August – Sept 2011

Phase 1: Survey
Research questions
1. What are the technologies academics are using?
2. How are SA lecturers using these technologies?
3. Is the use of these technologies transforming teaching
and learning practices?
4. Are they leading to qualitative outcomes for students?
Methodology
1.
2.
3.
4.

Survey sent out in 2011 to all HEIs in South Africa
App. 250 responses
Closed and open ended questions
Follow up interviews with 21 educators who provided
rich evidence
5. Write up of case studies
Findings of project
What are emerging technologies?
Veletsianos’ (2010) identified
five characteristics:
1. They are not necessarily
new;
2. They are evolving;
3. They go through hype
cycles;
4. They are not yet fully
understood and not yet
maturely researched and
5. They have the (often
unrealised) potential to
disrupt

Our team concluded (Gachago
et al., 2013) that:
• Veletsianos’ definition was
able to take account of the
contextual complexities in
South Africa
• And identified two
additional characteristics
6. They were used by
passionate innovators and
7. They were empowering
for students and lecturers
What emerging technologies are used?
•
•
•
•

Research databases were the most common
Social networking and communication tools,
Open educational resources
Tools for accessing and producing learning
artefacts
• Tools for recording learning activities for later
review and reflection
• Low uptake of bandwidth intensive technologies
• Many view the LMS as the most innovative
technology that they have used

Why use emerging technologies?
• There are three reasons why people use emerging
technologies:
1.
2.
3.

Pedagogic concerns
Pragmatism, to solve practical problems
External pressures

• Obstacles: lack of knowledge or skills, and resources
• But lack of resources also drives adoption
• Who makes it happen?

2.

Individuals who are passionate about technology and teaching

Challenges
Emerging technologies make it
possible to teach in new ways
• Emerging technologies can support authentic
learning (Herrington, Reeves and Oliver, 2010)
– Exposing students to real-world contexts
– Tackling ill-defined problems that need be approached
in multiple ways
– To provide coaching and scaffolding

• Less effective in providing
– opportunities for students to articulate their growing
understanding
– authentic assessment
1. Citizen journalism
2. Collaborative women’s
health programme
3. Digital storytelling in
education
4. Adaptive management of
resources / Biodiversity
5. Critical thinking in
Physiotherapy
What can emerging technologies do?
Emerging technologies can be used to:
• Collaboratively construct knowledge through interaction,
feedback and reflection
• Collaboratively design teaching materials and plan
curricula
• Allow a more personalised, flexible way of learning
• Change the role of students in learning and the powerrelationship between students and lecturers
• Increase access to social learning networks
• Facilitate both informal and formal learning
• Support diverse students’ needs
• Support students learning in a second or third language
Doing it right…
• Emerging technologies do not necessarily lead to
better learning outcomes
• May simply reinforce traditional ways of teaching
• One exemplary process:
1. identify a learning goal
2. Select an activity that results in an artefact
3. Have students present the outcome and record the
presentation
4. Have students reflect publically on the goal, artefact and
presentation, and
5. Research and write a reflective essay on the task

• Requires institutional engagement with innovators
Emerging themes…

Context matters – sometimes an LMS is still emerging
Passionate educators / agency more transformative impact that
institutional support
We are learning differently – focus on meaningful learning in authentic
contexts

• My computer is the nucleus of my workspace
• When I need information I go online
• Besides IM or email my cell phone is my primary method of
communication
• I’m usually juggling five things at once
• My attention span is very small
• I want instant gratification
• I get bored very easily

Everybody has their own story to tell. So digital
story allows you to tell your specific story and
share it amongst everybody in your classroom.
So yes, if you get exposed to
another person’s culture,
surely you will respect that
culture eventually and you
will learn about that person
and you see that person
with more respect and in a
better light.

Sharing your story
• Development of variety of digital literacies
• Polished product
• Personal growth through reflection, sharing
and listening to each other’s stories
• Development of class cohesion and team
building

Benefits
1. What is digital literacy?
Three components of digital literacy emerge from the literature

Social awareness
(understand your identity, collaborate, adapt
communication to context/audience)

Critical thinking
(evaluating, contextualising – information literacy?)

Knowledge of digital tools
(hard/software awareness/competence – ICT literacy?)

• Meso practice Group work – A Social Work intervention
which is, ‘a goal directed activity with small treatment and task groups aimed
at meeting socio emotional needs and accomplishing tasks’
(Toseland & Rivas, 2009, p12)
*
The course used a blended learning approach
as students were requested to conduct
collaborative work both face-to-face and
online using the WebCT learning
management system
Role play
Role play is a powerful tool for the enactment of a
social role in an imagined social situation
Getting students to play either the role of leader
or member at different points facilitated learning,
empathy and skill development
Role play is used for- assessment, teaching and
simulation
Role play increases awareness, understanding of
interpersonal skills and allows for corrective
feedback (Toesland and Rivas, 2009)
Discussion Forum :an asynchronous online dialogue or
conversation that takes the form of a series of linked
messages organized around a common subject or theme
(Swan 2005) that occurs on a platform for conferencing
and learning that spans both time and space between
students and teachers (Gilbert & Dabbagh, 2005)

Discussion Forums offer a flexible platform that
enables active interaction and collaboration
between and amongst students and educator /s in
the learning process
Discussion Forum Posts
Students were asked to create discussion forum posts that
contain at least 3 original messages and to respond to 2 messages
posted by classmates
Reflective practice was encouraged as it is a ‘deliberate effort to
review actions and the knowledge that informs them (Schon
cited in Barry & O' Callaghan, 2008, p. 56)
Reflection helps gain insight on how individual activity and
outcomes contribute to the learning experience (Conrad &
Donaldson, 2004 ) and can occur in the on-line environment
(Brookfield, 2006)
In the online environment, members have the opportunity to
expand the possibility of reflection through collaborative
techniques with other learners (Glowacki-Dudka & Barnett,2007)
The Course
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Aim- to teach students how to design, plan, implement and assess meso level
interventions
WebCT learning management system was used to provide a virtual platform for
discussion forums and placing relevant multi-media course content
21 lectures over 10 weeks
6 virtual online and class groups were created around a social issue such as
addiction
Students adopted the roles of a group member or group worker/leader
The groups were risk free, safe rehearsal environments to experiment with the
group processes and skills prior to working with clients in the field
Meso practice exercises that mirrored the procedures and activities of treament
interventions

• Total number of posts- 904,highest number of post
by a student was- 71
• Total amount times spent on course on the learning
management system 289 hours
Quotes
• I know of a friend who has being to rehab, stayed clean but
because of the environment and circumstances within the
household, addiction was the only comfort”
• Free to share -the ice breaker today was a bit boring, SORRY,
didnt have time to think it over I totally forgot that I was the
leader for toda (y)
• i agree with u sameera... but however i wont entirely say
that their family and background is the cause for their
action, that is just making excuses because after all
everyone has the ability to think for themselves and make
decisions or alternatively they using a form of defence
mechanism by projecting blame onto others .. they know
the harms of substance abuse (hence gain knowledge from
tv, radio, other members) yet they still CHOOSE to carry on?
Quotes
• I dont think that will work. the more something is illegal the more
peope do it its like people were cursed, we always do what we are
told not to
• Conflict -Today there were some revelation about how group
memebers felt personally but this did not affect the way in which the
group co-operates. I think there was a bit of intensity due to the
conflict that was brought up during our ice breaker and later delt
with. the group was not their usual out-going, vibrant selves.
use of poetry – my Master -I have a master of an evil kind
He totally controls my body, soul, and mind
• Education -SANCA website ,
http://www.sancanational.org.za/stats_usage.htm , states that
alcohol is the most highly abused sustance. This is alarming and it
seems this problem is increasing amongst South African's. Hopefully
stricter laws will be put in place in terms of shebeen's and
restaurants selling alcohol on sunday's

CS9: Digital Literacy

The Online Scholar
Noëlle Cowling

Faculty of Military Science
Stellenbosch University
Background
• Small Multi-Disciplinary Faculty on satellite
campus in Saldanha
• Challenge wrt staff and student readiness for elearning
• Student group diverse with highly disparate
competencies
• Faculty members diverse ito willingness to
utilise technology in teaching – resistance can
be a challenge
• Current online learning is too static and not
sufficiently interactive
Intended
Outcomes
• Enhance staff digital literacy wrt Web 2.0
• Improved digital literacy should carry over into
teaching practice
• Improving staff online profiles
• Create platforms to share research and teaching
online
• Improved collaboration with other scholars
• Create a safe space for staff to explore and develop
• Increased visibility of scholars and their work
The
Challenge
• The Faculty of Military Science is isolated
• The online sharing ethos clashes with the military
culture of securing information
• Research collaboration ito research between scholars
in the FMS and other institutions less than half the
national norm
• Lack of confidence wrt utilizing new technologies
• Lecturers responsible for uptake of new tech in
courses
• Training and support effort is often directed to the
student level and not the staff level
Established
Practice
• Past training often focused on the LMS, in 2012 we
introduced sessions on specific emerging tech
• Not enough HOT and follow through in terms of
introducing new tech
• Most staff currently have limited online profiles
• Only a handful of approx 65 faculty are actively
curating research online
• Almost no research dissemination effort after
publication
• Ltd active sharing of ideas etc via blogging, Twitter
etc
Affordances
Tools were selected based upon various
affordances:
• Tools selected were:
– Academia.Edu
– LinkedIn
– Slideshare
– Twitter
– Google Sites
Academia.edu
•
•
•
•
•
•

Collaboration
Research streams and updates
Curatorship
Networking
Tracking tools
SEO

LinkedIn
• Widely used in the Faculty
• Can embed Slideshare presentations
• Great SEO
• Slideshare
– Media Sharing Service so encourages extended
literacy with regards to other sites such as
YouTube and Flickr
– Great platform to share teaching ideas
– Promotes Open Education
– Provides Information on who accessed your
presentations
• Twitter
– Micro Blogging
– Aggregator of latest information
– Dissemination Tool to ensure research gains traction
• Google Sites
– Ready platform for e-portfolio
– Robust echo system incl many apps and tools
– Track citation impact
– Offers research and teaching tools
– One common online identity
Description of Intervention
• A teacher to teacher type intervention
• Process
–
–
–
–

Utilise 5 selected tools
Introducing one a month over six months
Develop digital literacy skills
Create, enhance and improve online profiles and collaborative
efforts.
– Finally participants will be encouraged to create e-portfolios
for life long and life wide learning and curatorship.
Description of Intervention
• The Project Group
– 5 Faculty members selected
– Demographically diverse - Middle of the road tech users

• Survey used to assess their use of online profiles
• Outcomes constructed to ensure buy-in and listed as
–
–
–
–
–
–

Improved digital literacy
Digital makeover
Curatorship competencies
Expansion of networks and collaboration opportunities
Awareness of research impact
Participation in the growing open access environment
Key Points
for Effective
Practice
• Maintaining enthusiasm and “buy-in” from staff
• Strong selling points are required to ensure continued
participation
• Ensure that some of the tools are not replicating the
functions offered by other and that management of
too many streams becomes difficult
• Find a balance between maintaining momentum in the
project and creating a pressure situation for
participants
• Provide rapid training for each tool with best
practice guidelines
• Provide ongoing feedback and support
• It is crucial not to lose sight of the fact that that
the primary aim of developing digital literacies
remains the end goal of this venture, with the
development of the online identities being a
secondary goal.
How did I design my learning activity?
• Ensure that the tools selected complemented each other
• 6 month timeframe in order to provide a month to master
each tool and ensure the activity fitted into one semester
• Rapid group training sessions of one hour per tool in order to
fit training into a lunch break and make it accessible to all
faculty members
• Each tool is therefore presented as an independent entity with
a “clip-on” type of approach
• Personalised support model designed to ensure support and
contact for continued commitment
Conclusions & Recommendations
• The project is still formative and adjustments are
ongoing
• One recommendation is to design an online course for
this intervention
• The intervention creates safe spaces for scholars to
explore a number of Web 2.0 tools in a manner which
is directly relevant to them
• Interesting research possibilities ito how participants
developed and if their research networks prospered.
Conclusions & Recommendations
• One recommendation by our web manager is to
do away with static online profiles on the
Faculty website and instead create links to
social networking buttons
• The training has since been made accessible to
all interested staff members. The initial group
will continue as planned however for purposes
of evaluation and development

  • 7. “Although lecturers and students are seemingly embracing emerging technologies enthusiastically, it is taking longer for institutions and policy makers to adopt and implement them. Institutions and policy makers are not yet fully engaging with these technologies to understand the usefulness of these technologies and therefore administrative policies may slow down or halt adoption.” COL 2008, 16

  • 26. What are emerging technologies? Veletsianos’ (2010) identified five characteristics: 1. They are not necessarily new; 2. They are evolving; 3. They go through hype cycles; 4. They are not yet fully understood and not yet maturely researched and 5. They have the (often unrealised) potential to disrupt Our team concluded (Gachago et al., 2013) that: • Veletsianos’ definition was able to take account of the contextual complexities in South Africa • And identified two additional characteristics 6. They were used by passionate innovators and 7. They were empowering for students and lecturers
  • 27. What emerging technologies are used? • • • • Research databases were the most common Social networking and communication tools, Open educational resources Tools for accessing and producing learning artefacts • Tools for recording learning activities for later review and reflection • Low uptake of bandwidth intensive technologies • Many view the LMS as the most innovative technology that they have used
  • 28. Emerging technology Regularly At least once Never Research databases 61.5% 13.0% 24.0% Social media 48.0% 19.5% 30.5% Social networking 44.5% 19.0% 35.5% Instant messaging 38.0% 17.5% 44.5% E-books 37.5% 28.5% 33.0% Web-based documents 36.5% 25.5% 35.5% Blogging 34.5% 22.5% 39.0% Bibliographic management 33.0% 25.5% 34.5% Internet phone 32.5% 20.0% 47.0% Open educational resources 31/0% 29.0% 38.5% Wikis 27.5% 26.5% 43.5% Podcasting / vodcasting 23.0% 27.0% 49.0% RSS feeds 23.0% 14.0% 50.5% Multimedia / digital stories 20.0% 26.5% 52.0%

  • 32. Why use emerging technologies? • There are three reasons why people use emerging technologies: 1. 2. 3. Pedagogic concerns Pragmatism, to solve practical problems External pressures • Obstacles: lack of knowledge or skills, and resources • But lack of resources also drives adoption • Who makes it happen? 1. 2. Individuals who are passionate about technology and teaching Adoption is not systemic or well supported by universities

  • 35. Emerging technologies make it possible to teach in new ways • Emerging technologies can support authentic learning (Herrington, Reeves and Oliver, 2010) – Exposing students to real-world contexts – Tackling ill-defined problems that need be approached in multiple ways – To provide coaching and scaffolding • Less effective in providing – opportunities for students to articulate their growing understanding – authentic assessment
  • 36. 1. Citizen journalism 2. Collaborative women’s health programme 3. Digital storytelling in education 4. Adaptive management of resources / Biodiversity 5. Critical thinking in Physiotherapy
  • 37. What can emerging technologies do? Emerging technologies can be used to: • Collaboratively construct knowledge through interaction, feedback and reflection • Collaboratively design teaching materials and plan curricula • Allow a more personalised, flexible way of learning • Change the role of students in learning and the powerrelationship between students and lecturers • Increase access to social learning networks • Facilitate both informal and formal learning • Support diverse students’ needs • Support students learning in a second or third language
  • 38. Doing it right… • Emerging technologies do not necessarily lead to better learning outcomes • May simply reinforce traditional ways of teaching • One exemplary process: 1. identify a learning goal 2. Select an activity that results in an artefact 3. Have students present the outcome and record the presentation 4. Have students reflect publically on the goal, artefact and presentation, and 5. Research and write a reflective essay on the task • Requires institutional engagement with innovators
  • 39. Emerging themes… 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Context matters – sometimes an LMS is still emerging Passionate educators / agency more transformative impact that institutional support We are learning differently – focus on meaningful learning in authentic contexts Power to the learners & community!

  • 65. Role play Role play is a powerful tool for the enactment of a social role in an imagined social situation Getting students to play either the role of leader or member at different points facilitated learning, empathy and skill development Role play is used for- assessment, teaching and simulation Role play increases awareness, understanding of interpersonal skills and allows for corrective feedback (Toesland and Rivas, 2009)
  • 66. Discussion Forum :an asynchronous online dialogue or conversation that takes the form of a series of linked messages organized around a common subject or theme (Swan 2005) that occurs on a platform for conferencing and learning that spans both time and space between students and teachers (Gilbert & Dabbagh, 2005) Discussion Forums offer a flexible platform that enables active interaction and collaboration between and amongst students and educator /s in the learning process
  • 67. Discussion Forum Posts Students were asked to create discussion forum posts that contain at least 3 original messages and to respond to 2 messages posted by classmates Reflective practice was encouraged as it is a ‘deliberate effort to review actions and the knowledge that informs them (Schon cited in Barry & O' Callaghan, 2008, p. 56) Reflection helps gain insight on how individual activity and outcomes contribute to the learning experience (Conrad & Donaldson, 2004 ) and can occur in the on-line environment (Brookfield, 2006) In the online environment, members have the opportunity to expand the possibility of reflection through collaborative techniques with other learners (Glowacki-Dudka & Barnett,2007)
  • 68. The Course • • • • • • • Aim- to teach students how to design, plan, implement and assess meso level interventions WebCT learning management system was used to provide a virtual platform for discussion forums and placing relevant multi-media course content 21 lectures over 10 weeks 6 virtual online and class groups were created around a social issue such as addiction Students adopted the roles of a group member or group worker/leader The groups were risk free, safe rehearsal environments to experiment with the group processes and skills prior to working with clients in the field Meso practice exercises that mirrored the procedures and activities of treament interventions • Total number of posts- 904,highest number of post by a student was- 71 • Total amount times spent on course on the learning management system 289 hours

  • 70. Quotes • I dont think that will work. the more something is illegal the more peope do it its like people were cursed, we always do what we are told not to • Conflict -Today there were some revelation about how group memebers felt personally but this did not affect the way in which the group co-operates. I think there was a bit of intensity due to the conflict that was brought up during our ice breaker and later delt with. the group was not their usual out-going, vibrant selves. use of poetry – my Master -I have a master of an evil kind He totally controls my body, soul, and mind • Education -SANCA website , http://www.sancanational.org.za/stats_usage.htm , states that alcohol is the most highly abused sustance. This is alarming and it seems this problem is increasing amongst South African's. Hopefully stricter laws will be put in place in terms of shebeen's and restaurants selling alcohol on sunday's

  • 94. CS9: Digital Literacy The Online Scholar Noëlle Cowling Faculty of Military Science Stellenbosch University
  • 96. • Small Multi-Disciplinary Faculty on satellite campus in Saldanha • Challenge wrt staff and student readiness for elearning • Student group diverse with highly disparate competencies • Faculty members diverse ito willingness to utilise technology in teaching – resistance can be a challenge • Current online learning is too static and not sufficiently interactive
  • 98. • Enhance staff digital literacy wrt Web 2.0 • Improved digital literacy should carry over into teaching practice • Improving staff online profiles • Create platforms to share research and teaching online • Improved collaboration with other scholars • Create a safe space for staff to explore and develop • Increased visibility of scholars and their work
  • 100. • The Faculty of Military Science is isolated • The online sharing ethos clashes with the military culture of securing information • Research collaboration ito research between scholars in the FMS and other institutions less than half the national norm • Lack of confidence wrt utilizing new technologies • Lecturers responsible for uptake of new tech in courses • Training and support effort is often directed to the student level and not the staff level
  • 102. • Past training often focused on the LMS, in 2012 we introduced sessions on specific emerging tech • Not enough HOT and follow through in terms of introducing new tech • Most staff currently have limited online profiles • Only a handful of approx 65 faculty are actively curating research online • Almost no research dissemination effort after publication • Ltd active sharing of ideas etc via blogging, Twitter etc
  • 104. Tools were selected based upon various affordances: • Tools selected were: – Academia.Edu – LinkedIn – Slideshare – Twitter – Google Sites
  • 105. Academia.edu • • • • • • Collaboration Research streams and updates Curatorship Networking Tracking tools SEO LinkedIn • Widely used in the Faculty • Can embed Slideshare presentations • Great SEO
  • 106. • Slideshare – Media Sharing Service so encourages extended literacy with regards to other sites such as YouTube and Flickr – Great platform to share teaching ideas – Promotes Open Education – Provides Information on who accessed your presentations
  • 107. • Twitter – Micro Blogging – Aggregator of latest information – Dissemination Tool to ensure research gains traction • Google Sites – Ready platform for e-portfolio – Robust echo system incl many apps and tools – Track citation impact – Offers research and teaching tools – One common online identity
  • 108. Description of Intervention • A teacher to teacher type intervention • Process – – – – Utilise 5 selected tools Introducing one a month over six months Develop digital literacy skills Create, enhance and improve online profiles and collaborative efforts. – Finally participants will be encouraged to create e-portfolios for life long and life wide learning and curatorship.
  • 109. Description of Intervention • The Project Group – 5 Faculty members selected – Demographically diverse - Middle of the road tech users • Survey used to assess their use of online profiles • Outcomes constructed to ensure buy-in and listed as – – – – – – Improved digital literacy Digital makeover Curatorship competencies Expansion of networks and collaboration opportunities Awareness of research impact Participation in the growing open access environment
  • 111. • Maintaining enthusiasm and “buy-in” from staff • Strong selling points are required to ensure continued participation • Ensure that some of the tools are not replicating the functions offered by other and that management of too many streams becomes difficult • Find a balance between maintaining momentum in the project and creating a pressure situation for participants
  • 112. • Provide rapid training for each tool with best practice guidelines • Provide ongoing feedback and support • It is crucial not to lose sight of the fact that that the primary aim of developing digital literacies remains the end goal of this venture, with the development of the online identities being a secondary goal.
  • 113. How did I design my learning activity? • Ensure that the tools selected complemented each other • 6 month timeframe in order to provide a month to master each tool and ensure the activity fitted into one semester • Rapid group training sessions of one hour per tool in order to fit training into a lunch break and make it accessible to all faculty members • Each tool is therefore presented as an independent entity with a “clip-on” type of approach • Personalised support model designed to ensure support and contact for continued commitment
  • 114. Conclusions & Recommendations • The project is still formative and adjustments are ongoing • One recommendation is to design an online course for this intervention • The intervention creates safe spaces for scholars to explore a number of Web 2.0 tools in a manner which is directly relevant to them • Interesting research possibilities ito how participants developed and if their research networks prospered.
  • 115. Conclusions & Recommendations • One recommendation by our web manager is to do away with static online profiles on the Faculty website and instead create links to social networking buttons • The training has since been made accessible to all interested staff members. The initial group will continue as planned however for purposes of evaluation and development
