| SUMMARY: |
Teaching and learning with new technologies at university is the theme of this book. A few
decades after the first distance learning experiences, we are witnessing the metabolization of the
theoretical principles of that type of "unconventional" teaching within the degree courses in
attendance. Not only. The use of digital technologies in formal learning and teaching contexts is now
one of the main factors in the qualification of teaching activities.
This underlines the urgency, more strongly than ever, of overcoming the classic transmission teaching
model based on the ex-cathedra lesson, prevailing in most cases. The speed of change in work, social,
technological and cultural processes that are distinguishing our society requires educational models
that are more functional to the growth and training (continuos) of individuals: collaborative and
experiential learning, on the one hand, the need to transform the teaching paradigm, based on verbal
and written language, in a learning paradigm, based on multimedia languages, network logics,
multiple contributions and shared responsibilities, on the other hand, seem to be the mainstay on
which to support the new teaching. |
