Missing: Evidence of a scholarly approach to teaching and learningwithtechnologyinhighereducation

Abstract

There has to be an examination of the real educational benefits of the growing usage of technology in higher education classrooms. Do real-world examples support the assertion that technology is revolutionising higher education instruction and student learning? The study for this article is based on a review of the current literature on TEL (Technology Enhanced Learning). The article contends that there is a lack of academic rigour in the published descriptions of TEL practices. It would seem that technology-led treatments are more common in TEL than interventions that address actual problems with teaching and learning. It is easy to overlook the significant impact of educators' varied understandings of their own roles as educators and the value of professional development opportunities. In order to enhance practices and optimise the efficiency of TEL, we believe that cultivating a more academic mindset among university instructors is more important than offering technical training.
