- 3. Context 1. What is your biggest motivator to integrate technology into your teaching and learning? 2. What is your biggest constraint to integrate technology into your teaching and learning?
- 4. Motivators
- 5. Constraints
- 6. Bates & Sangra (2011) Goals for ICT Integration Increase flexible access for students Increase personal interaction between students and staff Develop student skills to identify, collect, analyse and apply knowledge Teach how ICT can be used in a profession or subject Develop 21st century skills Greater cost- effectiveness
- 8. Global Trends and Challenges The NMC Horizon Report: 2014 Higher Education Edition Growing Usage of Social Media Integration of Online, Blended & Collaborative Learning Expanding Access Low Digital Fluency of Staff Keeping Education Relevant
- 9. The College System in SA Expand enrolments & campus space Improve quality of education Increase Foundation & NQF Level 5 Programmes Reduce mix of qualifications & uneven quality assurance Build partnerships with communities & employers DHET.

- 22. Open Education Movement Open Source movement -> cost effective tools – Learner Management Systems (Moodle, Sakai, Canvas) – Student Information Systems (Fedena, Kuali, Open SIS) Open Education movement -> free quality content – Open Educational Resources (OER) – Open Courseware – Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)
- 23. Open Educational Resources “OER are teaching or learning resources that have been released under an intellectual property license that permits their free use or re-purposing by others. OER include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software” (adapted from: Atkins)
- 25. ICT Infra- structure & applications Connectivity / Internet Access Programme, Course & Materials Develop(Open) Licencing of Materials/ Resources Capacity Building Quality Assurance Change Manage- ment Areas to address In alignment with: Vision / Mission Strategic Plan Other Policies
- 26. Policy Level Issues • Students able to have own devices • Computer Laboratories • Applications (including Open Source) • Infrastructure Maintenance (equipment, backups etc) • Link to ICT policy 1. ICT Infrastructure & Applications • Sufficient bandwidth • Stable network • Wired and wireless access throughout campuses 2. Connectivity & Internet Access
- 27. Policy Level Issues • ICT as core component of teaching & learning (blended) • Use of OER to support materials development • Ongoing quality improvement • Staff recognition (financial, promotion, other, etc) 3. Programme, Course & Materials Design • Copyright and Creative Commons licenses • Encourage use of OER 4. (Open) Licensing & Intellectual Property
- 28. Policy Level Issues • Meet quality standards • Monitoring and evaluation 5. Quality Assurance & Evaluation • Professional development for academic and admin staff • Use of education technology in teaching & learning 6. Capacity Building • Advocacy of ICT integration • Institutional events & circulating materials 7. Change Management
- 29. Supporting Principles Adaptive to Change Build Capacity Open Education Collaboration Look to Add Value
- 30. A Final Thought Good teaching may overcome a poor choice of technology but technology will never save bad teaching Tony Bates (2012)
