Disruptive Technology Enhanced Learning Summary

Disruptive Technology Enhanced Learning: The Use and Misuse of Digital Technologies in Higher Education by Michael Flavin

This book is about how technologies are used in practice to support learning and teaching in higher education. Despite digitization and e-learning becoming ever-increasingly popular in university teaching settings, this book convincingly argues instead in favour of simple and convenient technologies, thus disrupting traditional patterns of learning, teaching and assessment. Michael Flavin uses Disruptive Innovation theory, Activity Theory and the Community of Practice theory as lenses through which to examine technology enhanced learning. This book will be of great interest to all academics with teaching responsibilities, as it illuminates how technologies are used in practice, and is also highly relevant to postgraduate students and researchers in education and technology enhanced learning. It will be especially valuable to leaders and policy-makers in higher education, as it provides insights to inform decision-making on technology enhanced learning at both an institutional and sectoral level.

Disruptive Technology Enhanced Learning Reviews

Flavin uses this research to argue for a better understanding of how both students and lecturers use technologies in practice, to practice technology enhanced learning more effectively. The book, part of the Digital Education and Learning Series, explores the pedagogical potential and realities of digital technologies in a refreshing and practical way, that also provides the strong evidence-base required for making decisions at an institution level. (Carmel Thomason, Innovative Practice in Higher Education, Vol. 3 (3), April, 2018)

The book is a very insightful guide for students, researchers, practitioners and policy makers in computer-assisted learning, higher education, educational psychology and learning science. ... we'd like to highly recommend this book which expands our understanding of the use and misuse of digital technologies in higher education. ... With a fund of fresh insights into DTEL, the book will attract a wide readership from novice practitioners to established scholars. (Xiqin Liu and Xiaowei Chen, Innovations in Education and Teaching International, December, 2017)
