Session 1 Blog Post: Technology Enabled Learning and the Future of Learning in Higher Education

 Title: Technology Enabled Learning and the Future of Learning in
Higher Education: Your Teaching Philosophy Shapes Your View

Your teaching philosophy determines how you engage with technology-enabled learning. I firmly believe that learning through experience is essential and I have personally seen the benefits of using technology in my own teaching.

Currently, I use both Moodle and Google Classroom to add activities and resources for my students in ED 102 and ED 301. Through consistent practice, my teaching has improved to a better standard. I have noticed that my students are enjoying the lessons and are highly engaged. When I give them a quiz, it encourages interaction and collaboration among classmates.

Our institution has been very supportive by offering workshops and professional development sessions on Moodle. These have been incredibly helpful. I am now looking forward to our upcoming workshop on Turnitin, a tool that will greatly assist with assessing and marking student assignments.

Learning by doing, supported by the right tools and training, truly makes a difference.

These perspectives are often deeply rooted in how we were raised and educated. However, the world today is evolving rapidly, and education must evolve alongside it. One of the most significant shifts we are witnessing is in the area of eLearning, where the focus is moving toward more experiential, “learn-by-doing” approaches. This shift challenges us to think differently, dream bigger, and embrace change as it happens in real time. In both the present and the future, education is no longer simply about acquiring knowledge. Instead, it is about continuously developing and adapting skills for lifelong learning. Learners are being prepared not just for a single job, but for multiple roles, many of which may not yet exist. As technology continues to advance, the educational landscape is transforming in remarkable ways, opening up ...
