Abstract

It is suggested that most learning technologies used in higher education reinforce what is known as the banking concept of education. Teachers and designers often give too much importance to results and content delivery. We explore the role of learning technologies to promote students' meaningful learning, critical thinking and collaboration, as well as teacher's awareness and orchestration. Our approach aims to bridge the gap between principles of pedagogy, student modelling, modest computing and usability. We will show the applicability of our approach as a learning ecology including in three scenarios: face-to-face, remote, and mobile learning environments.
