Exploring e-learning practices across the disciplines in a university environment
Funding Year: 2008
Type: 2 years
Organisation: University of Waikato
Principal Investigator
Dr Marcia Johnson, Wilf Malcolm Institute of Educational Research (WMIER),
Partnerships
University of Waikato with a multidisciplinary team from across the University of Waikato, including educational researchers, lecturers, and the team leader for eEducation university staff development.
Project Aims
This is a two-year project exploring ICT/e-learning across several disciplines and with students from diverse backgrounds at the University of Waikato. It will address issues of tertiary-level pedagogy, e-pedagogy, and research. In the first year the project will explore ICT practices within four case-study environments. Data collected will be analysed and the findings used to discern and distil pedagogical practices. E-learning capacity will be built through the recruitment of additional case-study participants during the second year. Findings from both years will be used to leverage pedagogical change and to close participatory gaps for students and lecturers.
