Sobre a palestra:
Digital multi-media and tools are being used in today’s education to support new findings about the learning process, which suggest giving the student a more active role in managing their own learning. Digital media presentation, however, can also impede learning by distracting learners with inessential elements and by mixing too many media, causing cognitive overload.
This lecture focuses on the pedagogies and discoveries that support the successful use of digital media, both to enhance learning and to allow students more flexibility and greater control over their own learning.
