Abstract -
Teaching in a traditional face-to-face setting is a very complex activity. The complexity is even further extended when teaching is delivered online or electronically due to the lack of standard cues such as tone of voice, eye contact, body language, and so forth, which are key tools for human communication. Technology-enhanced learning is at the core of using innovative and emerging technologies to facilitate and support learning in both online and blended settings [13]. The success and promotion of effective learning is dependent on a range of factors. The learner’s ability, sound pedagogy, the nature and alignment of the curriculum, assessment, socio-cultural and accessibility issues, and so on [2]. Indeed, the success of technology-enhanced learning is underscored by sound pedagogy and promotion of the effective use of technology in teaching and learning by scholars and practitioners [9]. Drawing on current knowledge, experience, and evidence-based practice from a range of perspectives, E-Learning and E-Teaching focuses on Developing skills, teaching, Academic development and assessing online programmes.
Applied E-Learning and E-Teaching in Higher Education brings together respected practitioners from across the globe, representing diverse disciplines and perspectives, to share experience, knowledge, current thinking about good practice, and enhancement of the learner experience [14]. The spotlight on the effective integration of pedagogy and technology, the use of technology in teaching research methods at higher degree levels, collaborative learning within multi professional teams, and online communities of inquiry.
