information and communication technologies Flashcards
defined as the complete software, hardware, and network system used for instruction
integrated learning system (ILS)
8 Functionalities consolidated in an LMS
- Create, store and retrieve content
- Provide access control (password based)
- Serve as a venue for interaction
- Assist in administration: student tracking, collation of grades, record of progress
- Facilitate (or make possible) online assessment: usually formative (e.g., self administered quiz)
- Contain options for timetabling: some means of pacing materials; course calendar
- Act as a resource base: less formal than learning materials (e.g., FAQ, database accessed by keyword search, list of web-based resources)
- Provide access to support services (e.g., online technical support)
tools that course designers and teachers use to create online/digital course content
Content Creation Tools
5 ways in which computing can be used for presentation
- ‘Rich’ content through the Internet;
- Synchronous and asynchronous communication
- Structured and managed content in web sites, LMSs, video servers,
- Virtual worlds or virtual environments/contexts such as animations, simulations, augmented or virtual reality, and serious games;
- Multiple-choice tests which are automatically marked
e-portfolios.
8 ways in which computing can be used for skills development
- develop and test student comprehension of content
- develop computer coding and other computer-based skills;
- develop decision-making skills through the use of digitally-based simulations
- develop skills of reasoning, evidence-based argument, and collaboration
- enable students to create their own artefacts/online multimedia work
- develop skills of experimental design,
- develop skills of knowledge management and problem-solving,
- develop spoken and written language skills
Social Media tool which allows an individual to make regular postings to the web, e.g. a personal diary or an analysis of current events
Blogs
Social Media tool which is an “open” collective publication, allowing people to contribute or create a body of information
Wikis
Social media tool which connects people with friends and others who work, study and interact with them
Social networking
Social media tool which Allows end users to access, store, download and share audio recordings, photographs, and videos
Multi-media archives
Social media tool which enables players to compete or collaborate against each other or a third party/parties represented by the computer, usually in real-time
Multi-player games
Social media tool which enables users to access multiple information formats (voice, text, video, etc.) at any time, any place
Mobile learning
One feature of social media tools is to empower the end-user to self-access and manage data and to form personal networks. Some have called social media the _______ of the web.
‘democratization’
5 ‘affordances’ associated with social media (McLoughlin & Lee, 2011)
- connectivity and social rapport;
- collaborative information discovery and sharing;
- content creation;
- knowledge and information aggregation and content modification.
- unique pedagogical characteristics of social media.

________use the motivation levers of game design – such as competition, curiosity, collaboration, individual challenge – and game media, immersion, to enhance the motivation of participants to engage in complex or boring tasks.
Serious games
_______refers to “the pedagogical approach of utilizing games in education” (Anastasiadis, Lampropoulos and Siakas, 2018
Game-based learning
______ is defined as the “use of game design elements in non-game contexts” (Deterding et al., 2011)
Gamification
3 main reasons offered for using games in education
- improve students’ motivation to engage learners more deeply
- improve learning outcomes,
- improve attendance and participation.
