Syllabus - What you will learn from this course
Course Orientation
With presentations by leading researchers on technology innovation at the University of Illinois, this learning module explores the future of learning in an environment of ubiquitous technology-mediated communication. Bill Cope pushes the boundaries of possibility with his five propositions about the future of learning. Cris Mayo explores the gendered aspects of technology and ways in which we can critically engage with technologies in education. H Chad Lane explores the dynamics of technology-mediated learning in games and museums. Maya Israel introduces the challenges and opportunities of teaching computer science.
Ubiquitous Learning
This module examines the implications of ubiquitous learning for assessment and instruction, and technology as a mediator of social relations.
Instructional Technologies
The course now turns to look at some of the applications of technology in pedagogical practice in case studies of assessment, and in experiential informal learning.
Goals and Outcomes
The final module explores some additional cases and issues of technology in learning, examining the nature of the classroom, computer coding as a curriculum practice, and finally the question of measuring learning outcomes.

TOP REVIEWS FROM UBIQUITOUS LEARNING AND INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGIES
Learnt a great deal about asynchronous and synchronous learning, definitely pushed the boundaries on how we view technology mediated environments for education.
Thanks for this kind of course. I learned a lot and the most exciting part is to review peer's work and receiving theirs for me.
I really enjoyed taking this course and learning how to move to a more reflexiive learning approach where the student actually becomes more involved in the learning process.
Highly recommend everyone in the education sector to take this course! Easy to understand videos. Thought-provoking assignments with great interaction among students.
