Abstract

The move to introduce technology enhanced learning (TEL) is a trend that has been observed for decades. Following the disruption arising from Covid-19 pandemic, there has been a move to remote teaching in universities across the world. This move has put the transformation or digital revolution in the limelight in the media. TEL is of strategic importance to the conduct of teaching, learning and research in education internationally. TEL, when combined with the growing benefits of open approaches to education, leads to a potentially transformational means of learning. In this paper the authors introduce some examples of research projects from the Open University’s OpenTEL research grouping. These examples highlight some of the work conducted relating to supporting students, universities, and communities using TEL during the pandemic. OpenTEL research has identified that Covid-19 has exposed the need for better institutional support for students who are facing stress and disruption in their studies; collaboration among higher educational institutions to share knowledge; better engagement in the online pivot ; and understanding of the possibilities (and limitations) for online tools to maintain existing research communities.
OpenTEL:从流行病中吸取教训,为远程教育的未来提供借鉴
引入技术增强学习(TEL)的趋势已经被观察了几十年。在2019冠状病毒病大流行造成中断之后,世界各地的大学都开始转向远程教学。这一举动使数字革命的转型成为媒体关注的焦点。TEL对国际教育的教学、学习和研究具有战略意义。与开放式教育方法带来的日益增长的好处相结合,远程教育可能会带来一种具有变革性的学习方式。在本文中,作者介绍了开放大学的OpenTEL研究组的一些研究项目的例子。这些例子突出了在大流行期间为支持学生、大学和社区使用电子电话而开展的一些工作。OpenTEL的研究发现,Covid-19暴露了为那些在学习中面临压力和中断的学生提供更好的机构支持的必要性;高等院校合作分享知识;更好地参与在线中心;了解在线工具维持现有研究社区的可能性(和局限性)。
