Technology-Mediated Educationin Health SciencesFirst EditionTechnology-Mediated Education in HealthSciences describes the empoweringpossibilities that are available to healthsciences educators at tertiary institutions.It is a guide to using technology toenhance the educator’s message, withoutthe technology 'becoming' the message.Technology-Mediated Education in Health Sciencesestablishes ten paradigms for achieving yourgoals as an educator with the aid of technology.It positions the educator as the human face thatdefines and drives the teaching–learning experience,with technology and media playing supportingroles. An extensive toolbox supports educatorsin implementing new technologies, and includessample lesson plans, factors to consider in materialsproduction, a guide to develop instructionalmaterials, writing tips, checklists for evaluating studymaterials and advice on culturally appropriate design.Various case studies have been provided that discusshow technology has been successfully adopted inhealth sciences contexts.Throughout the book, the authors remain awareof the fine line that early-adopting educators haveto tread: on the one hand, they cannot be overlydependent on ICTs (thereby turning education intoa mere technological activity); and on the other,they should not over-estimate the power oftechnology and in doing that, minimise their ownhuman influence on learning. The question thatthe reader is left with is: “Which technologies andmethods are appropriate for my content, my context,and my students?”Contents1.The context2.Fundamental concepts3.Change4.Technology5.Human issues6.Application7.Selection and learning8.Support9.Materials developmentPrint ISBN:ePDF ISBN:ePUB s:Johann Hugo and Lorraine FakudeCopyright: 2016Extent: 464 pp.10.
