Technology-Based Learning Approaches

Technology-Based Learning Approaches

1. Problem-based learning

   • Instead of teaching mostly facts and using assessment-based learning, teaching practices have begun to move towards competency development.

2. Student-created content

   • Many technology-based approaches increasingly offer opportunities for students to create content that may be shared within the classroom, throughout schools, and on online learning platforms and LMS (Learning Management Systems).

3. Collaborative learning

   • Thanks to technology we can take learning everywhere. Now, online learning platforms can be accessed anywhere and anytime and, thanks to innovations such as Skype and FaceTime, simple international communication is possible.

4. Competency-based education

   • Another learning approach that will develop through technology is competency-based education. This alternative approach aims to focus on effective learning, rather than time-based learning.

5. Active learning

   • Active learning or hands-on learning means that students learn from experience as well as each other by trying out different learning methods, supporting each other’s ideas and, most importantly, allowing space to think and act for themselves.

6. Blended learning

   • We mostly refer to blended learning as a combination of online digital media and traditional classroom methods.

7. Flipped learning

   • Flipped learning is a type of blended learning that reverses the traditional teaching approach. It is about applying learning and increasing the student/teacher interaction in the classroom.

8. Integrated subjects

   • Having students create their own materials to use in their learning also moves learning away from targeted and subject-oriented approaches, and towards integrated, cross-curricular study that better resembles the interconnected world we live in.
