Vegas Spotlight on Communication: Reasserting the “C” in AECT

• In Event: ELT - Vegas Spotlight on Communication

Short Description

This one-hour session discusses role of communicative actions to understand learning and teaching in the context of today’s digital delivery platforms. We overview educational communications theory, along with examples and research outcomes, to frame instructional design principles and spur educational discourses, while explaining how and why learning results. We reassert the communication’s centrality to elucidate why and how learning should occur from our designs, rather accepting the problematic view that media directly influences learning.
