My Reflection Session 1: Technology enabled Learning and Future of Higher Education

 We studied a number of theoretical frameworks and noted how technology is impacting education learning.

1. Community of Inquiry (CoI)

2. Technology Pedagogy and Content Knowledge (TPACK)

3. Technology Integration Matrix (TIM)

 

Community of Inquiry model, which you can use in your classrooms, face-to- face, amalgamated, or online. To do so, first look at the model as a pupil, also as a schoolteacher. This model recognizes the value of group literacy. Then, technology enhances connections and collaboration for meaningful literacy.

 Rudiments of Community of Inquiry (Col)

 Social presence includes relating with others in the community, communicating purposefully in a safe terrain, and developing interpersonal connections. This is fulfilled through open communication, the expression of feelings, and group cohesion.

 In cognitive presence, learners can engage in reflection and converse for long ages of time while constructing and attesting meaning in a critical Community of Inquiry. For scholars to go through the four- stage process, they go through the ensuing stages of allowing Their original response is to a cognitive detector; they next explore the new idea; and eventually, they integrate it into their particular environment before making a decision.

 Design, facilitation, and direct instruction are three factors of tutoring presence. What learners are concerned about as they work on their pretensions for literacy are the chops and issues that will help them succeed. This goes both ways; the educator should give direction, and the scholars should take on whatever task the educator assigns.

 According to Garrison,D.R., Anderson,T., & Archer,W. (2000), It appears that computer conferencing may help foster an educational community of inquiry that enables scholars to hone critical thinking and debate chops ( i.e., critical inquiry). But to have an educated population, we must first gain a deeper understanding of how to design and deliver quality education in a textbook- grounded terrain. Suppose the progress of this idea depends on valid and accurate measures applied to each of the three essential rudiments of an educational community of inquiry. In that case, there will be a laborious road ahead. We also anticipate that this template will be employed to estimate colorful educational strategies and approaches that prop a community of inquiry regarding virtual conferencing.

 Technology Pedagogy And Content Knowledge

 It's a frame that pinpoints the tutoring ways preceptors will use to handle their subjects with new technology. The TPACK also includes the consideration of the subject itself as a critical element in TEL. These contrivers of the model believe that effective pedagogical technology integration of different subject matter demands developing a perceptivity to how specific subject matter occurs in different surrounds. Every situation is unique, and there are no single combinations of content, technology, and pedagogy that will apply to all preceptors, all courses, or all views of tutoring.

Technology Integration Matrix

 The TIM illustrates how preceptors can use technology to help or enable literacy for scholars from kindergarten to high academy scale, postsecondary/ university scholars, and further educating scholars. Meaningful literacy surroundings (TIMs) integrate five interdependent characteristics active, thing- directed, authentic, and cooperative. The TIM places these five situations of technological integration into five types of learning surroundings entry, wide relinquishment, metamorphosis, adaption, and infusion. Every slide in this donation depicts a 25- cell matrix with five different types of technology integration and five distinct characteristics of meaningful literacy surroundings.

 Is the Pacific Island prepared to make on its being technology to advance literacy? A lengthy lockdown is causing significant fiscal losses, emotional stress, and stress to people's internal health. Scholars impacted by the academy's unrestricted social distancing demand are at a disadvantage because they must limit their participation in the digital age while also in a time and resource constraint. When it comes to the practicalities of online literacy, it's important to fete that it's a specialized problem and a mortal bone. It's a pedagogical and educational challenge, one that must be met head-on. It's important to have close collaboration between educational, content, and technology brigades when delivering technology. This type of pedagogical metamorphosis involves taking university scholars and faculty out of the classroom and requires rapid-fire rallying across university staff and coffers.

 The result of COVID-19 has allowed us to incorporate online literacy into education systems. Now, education systems must be streamlined with fleetly changing technologies, taking online, amalgamated, and remote literacy to be used in seminaries in Fiji and across the Pacific.
