Summary

This book seeks to re-dress the lack of attention that technology developers and enthusiasts pay to a learners wider context, offering a definition of context as a set of inter-related resource elements, including people and objects.

Re-Designing Learning Contexts Summary

Re-Designing Learning Contexts: Technology-Rich, Learner-Centred Ecologies by Rosemary Luckin (Institute of Education, University of London, UK)

What do we mean by the word context in education and how does our context influence the way that we learn?

What role can technology play in enhancing learning and what is the future of technology within learning?

Re-Designing Learning Contexts seeks to re-dress the lack of attention that has traditionally been paid to a learners wider context and proposes a model to help educators and technologists develop more productive learning contexts. It defines context as the interactions between the learner and a set of inter-related resource elements that are not tied to a physical or virtual location. Context is something that belongs to an individual and that is created through their interactions in the world.

Based on original, empirical research, the book considers the intersection between learning, context and technology, and explores:

  • the meaning of the concept of context and its relationship to learning
  • the ways in which different types of technology can scaffold learning in context
  • the Learner-Centric Ecology of Resources model of context as a framework for designing technology-rich learning environments
  • the importance of matching available resources to each learners particular needs
  • the ways in which the learners environment and the technologies available might change over the coming years
  • the potential impact of recent technological developments within computer science and artificial intelligence.

This interdisciplinary study draws on a range of disciplines, including geography, anthropology, psychology, education and computing, to investigate the dynamics and potential of teacher-learner interaction within a learning continuum, and across a variety of locations. It will be of interest to those teaching, researching and thinking about the use of technology in learning and pedagogy, as well as those involved in developing technology for education and those who use it in their own teaching.

Re-Designing Learning Contexts Reviews

'One of the most important contributions on the whole TEL field.' Richard Noss, Director of ESRC/EPSRC TEL Research Program

'As new technologies, tools and online resources continue to proliferate, teachers, children and parents are increasingly confronted with 'learning support' overload. From smartphones to multitouch, apps to augmented reality, and interactive books to YouTube how do they decide which to use and also how best to integrate with existing learning practices? Luckin's seminal and timely text covers the wider 'context of learning' spanning across time, space, home and school, while also crossing local and global and virtual and physical. A must read for those who want to learn more about how best to systematically choose, combine and constrain in an increasingly unwieldy world of instant knowledge and pervasive technology.' Prof. Yvonne Rogers, Professor of Human-Computer Interaction, Oxford University
