How to Use Digital Learning with Confidence and Creativity: A Practical Introduction (How To Guides)

How to Use Digital Learning with Confidence and Creativity is an accessible and practical guide to key topics in the field of digital learning. It offers advice and insights not just about core digital learning platforms and tools but about a range of ethical, pedagogical, ideological, and strategic challenges arising at the intersection of digital technology and teaching practice.

This How to guide will help readers develop and deepen their understanding of how to support, research and engage with learning and learners in the digital age. Divided into three key sections, it offers valuable and practical guidance and perspectives about technical tools and systems, conceptual frameworks and theoretical structures and the integration of theory, technology and practice in real world teaching and learning contexts. The book brings together contributions from experienced instructional designers, learning technologists, teacher-scholars, and educational leaders, ensuring that while the content is accessible, it is also grounded in the real and dynamic world of contemporary digital learning.

This is an invaluable resource for students and scholars of digital learning, innovation and technology in education, educational psychology and pedagogy, as well as academics and education leaders working to develop approaches to and provide strategic leadership in this complex and constantly-evolving area.
