and
extending learning spaces.

2. To recognise the advantages of ICT in Education.
Draw on the reasons why ICT is not being implemented successfully.
Define e-education so as to be able to apply this concept to a model.
Analyse the model presented for e-education.
Identify ways in which the model can be used to extend teaching and
learning spaces.

Through discussion identify the perspective of various educational
stakeholders.
3. “The paper proposes a model for e-education in
instruction, training initiation and induction based
upon the concept of extended teaching spaces
involving execution, facilitation and liberation, and
extended learning spaces used for acquisition,
application and construction cemented in by dialogue
and reflection. The proposed model is based upon
theory, research and practice in education and
information and communication technology (ICT). In
this paper, the focus is on K-12 schooling, but the
model may be applied to ICT integration in all sectors
of education and training.”
4. According to Bonk & Zhang, 2008; Jonassen, Howland & Marra, 2007 (p 6) ICT has
the “potential to revolutionise the classroom by facilitating moves from rote
learning and shallow coverage of content to the acquisition of such higher order
thinking skills as problem setting, questioning, organising, evaluating and
generating knowledge”.
“Enable teachers to make presentations using motivating and informative
multimedia and facilitate active learning in individuals with different needs” (p 6)
Research by Becta, 2007 (p7 ) “applications of ICT resulted in greater interaction
and collaboration between teachers and students, curriculum choice and diversity
in ways of learning, and improvements in students national test scores, behaviour
and attendance”
Additionally Kozma , 2003 International study across 28 countries revealed that
“technology could promote innovative teaching and learning, constructivist
activities among students and collaboration among teachers. (p 7)
5. As discovered by Robertson, 2002; 2003 “the methodologies for ICT
adaption fails to take account of the complex cultural, psychological and
political characteristics of schools” (p 7)
Baskin and Williams (2006) found “there had been integration of ICT but
the question of ICT based pedagogy remains largely unaddressed.” (p 7)
Trucano ( 2007) reveals that “despite growing interest in the use of ICT in
education there is little evidence of its positive impact on learning
outcomes.” (p 7)
There is a need for more extensive pre-service and in-service teacher
training in ICT based pedagogy. (p.7) TPaCK??

8. What is your definition of e-education?
Whatever definition you arrive at it must consider the following:
“that the quality of learning is influenced more by the instructional design than the technology
(Clark, 1983,2001; Kozma, 2001), and that different technologies are needed to support different
processing and presentation capabilities ( Ally, 2004) (p 10)
“the successful integration of ICT in education can lead to the provision of learner centred
environments, access to multimedia-rich learning resources, expanded interactivity, improved peer
and self assessment, and responsiveness to individual needs” (p10)
“We need to change our notion of teaching and learning environments as time and space bound
classrooms to flexible, networked and extended virtual spaces
(Wahlstedt, Pekkola and Niemela 2008) (p10)
The model for e education which is to follow addresses these points
Making particular reference to technology‟s ability to change practice through extending teaching
and learning spaces

Initiation Induction
Familiarising the learners with social values Introduction into thought systems and
and norms. arriving at personal relationships and
judgements.

use multimedia to present facts and demonstrate processes in a more
engaging way
Teaching space is also extended by the work being online (home school
access to assessment and feedback)
Teacher‟s role: Facilitation
Self paced computer-based tutorials can be used to prompt and support
the learners, and learning can also be facilitated by interactive IT tools,
such as on line help desk p 12
Help provide the support to engage learners socially emotionally and
academically using email, conferencing, chat and discussion
Teacher‟s role: Liberationalist
Open ended inquiry , problem solving and creativity because of the
“Web, all places, people, knowledge ideas and artifacts are immediately
accessible at the click of a mouse, and anyone anywhere in the world can
learn from and contribute to online forums, blogs, wikis and other forms
of exchange for learning”. (p13)
12. Acquisition
Where learners can acquire knowledge, information and skills through multi
media Web and online interaction.
Teachers are not the sole providers of information therefore providing students
with opportunities to develop their “research and information fluency” .
Students are engaged, motivated and show an increased ability to problem solve.
Application
Where learners deliberately carry out research , collaborate, manage projects and
solve problems
Learners are connected – intranet or internet. Where ideas extend beyond the
confines of the classroom.
Construction
Enables learners to work independently/teams to create original ideas.
Constructing learning communities.
13. “Extended teaching and learning spaces can help to support a culture
of question posing and reflection by teacher and students alike by
exposing them to a wider range of facts, experiences, doubts , and
conflicting and competing ideas and opinions they can ever be
provided within the confines of the single classroom” (p 15)
14. What significance/repurcusions/consequences/contributions does the
model for e-education have for the following stakeholders:
a) Teachers
b) Students
c) School Leadership
d) Parents
e) Policy makers
f) University Undergraduate Coordinators
g) Please be prepared to share your perspective so as to contribute
towards a holistic appreciation for the model of e-education.
15. “Teachers who encourage………… extended teaching spaces and
extended learning spaces to facilitate and inspire learning, dialogue, and
reflection, involve their classes in real world learning, model digitalage
work, and promote digital citizenship and responsibility. They are
repositioning their schools in regard to e-education. The environment
they are creating conforms to our model of e-education” (p16) .
