Avoiding Educational Technology Pitfalls for Inclusion and Equity
Sulecio de Alvarez, Monica; Dickson-Deane, Camille
TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, v62 n4 p345-353 Jul 2018
The integration of technology in learning, from a cultural perspective, continues to be of concern to many. The concerns include understanding the use of tools in meaningful ways, designing learning experiences where learners retain agency in learning, avoiding unintended consequences in learning, and reconciling perspectives to allow natural learning to flourish. The purpose of this article is to encourage a healthy discussion regarding how designs may be created considering common cultural belief systems. The discussions presented will challenge how learning has been understood in the past, how it is being understood now, and how it may be designed, with thought to how contextually-cultured learning pathways can be achieved.
