Synopsis

The educational technology sector is growing fast, with schools, colleges and universities more than ever looking for the best ways to use technology in the classroom. At the same time, there is an increasing appetite for learning and teaching practices to be backed up by evidence. However, there are few resources that bring these two things together.

Enhancing Learning and Teaching with Technology brings together researchers, technologists and educators to discuss how technology can be designed and used for learning and teaching to best effect. It addresses what the research says about:

- how and why learning happens and how different technologies can enhance it;
- engaging a variety of learners through technology and helping them benefit from it;
- and how technology can support teaching.

The book is an accessible introduction to learning and teaching with technology for teachers and other educational professionals, regardless of their experience with using technology for education.
