Postgraduate
Subject coordinator: Lyn Schaverien

In this subject students reflect on their continuing experience of a range of e-learning systems, including a variety of innovative e-learning contexts developed at UTS and elsewhere. They develop their confidence in recognising, describing and analysing learning, and hence the learning models and theories implicit in the design and operation of these contexts.

E-learning systems in which students learn about learning are integral to theorising learning in this subject. Consistent with the problem-oriented approach being taken here, students consider e-learning contexts as solutions to educational problems or challenges. Particular emphasis is placed on developing students' understanding of current, leading-edge thinking about learning and exploring its worth for distilling models and theories of e-learning. As well, students develop their insights into such salient e-learning design parameters as assessment and evaluation. In these ways this subject aims at an even deeper level of technological fluency: understanding e-learning systems through the educational principles that underpin their design.
