Revisiting and framing media comparison studies, learning styles, and digital natives in light of new realities made visible by the COVID-19 pandemic

• In Event: RTD- New Perspectives on Learning Design Research (h)

Short Description

This session explores three big debates in the field and proposes a new conversation around these issues, especially in light of the impacts of COVID-19 on education. The three debates we are exploring are the Media Comparison debate between Richard Clark (1983) and Robert Kozma (1994), the Digital Native debate starting with Marc Presnky (2001), and the Learning Styles debate starting with Dunn and Dunn (1993) and Reif (1993).
