Feedback for question 1
Neil says:
There are a wide range of technologies that can support classroom-based learning. Technology
enables learners to acquire knowledge, produce new knowledge, share knowledge and check their
own knowledge.
You could use a wide range of tools in a classroom-based setting depending on the learning
outcomes of your session.
For this type of activity, you would typically use multimedia production tools, presentation tools or
collaborative writing tools.
Go to the next learning scenario
For this type of activity, learners will want to make use of collaborative tools, such as Google
Hangouts. They will probably also make use of their preferred social media networks, such as
Facebook, Instagram or Twitter to share updates, and will probably use these alongside email and
SMS.
Increasingly, learners are producing their own revision questions (e.g. MCQs) to reinforce their
learning, so they may use an interactive tool to produce and share these with their study group.
