=Welcome to the EDN6077S wiki on Learning theories in ICT in Education=

This wiki site will be constructed during the MEd ICT course - Learning, Cognition and Technology - during the block course (25-30 July) and until 8 August 2011.

Each group of 3 students will have selected or been allocated to one of the following key tradition of learning:
 * Behaviourist

 * Cognitive-constructivist
 * Socio-constructivist
 * Community-based or situative
 * Connectivist

The task requires each group to:
 * Provide a **definition** or two of the specific tradition of learning
 * Identify the **key principles** of the specific tradition of learning
 * Identify the **key theorists** in the specific tradition of learning
 * **Analyse the learning theory** of one representative theorist in the specific tradition of learning
 * Raise some of the **key critiques** of this theory
 * **Relate this specific theory to the use of ICTs in Education**by providing an:
 * explanation of a **good example** of how this theory has been appropriated to support learning in a technology-enhanced activity or program
 * explanation of a **poor example** of how this theory has been appropriated to support learning in a technology-enhanced activity or program
 * Make recommendations on where this theory may provide a useful explanation for how learning occurs when using particular ICT tools in specific ways.
 * Include references of all your sources!

You may add images, external links to texts, You Tube videos - whatever you think will help you and your colleagues get your head aroud the learning theory tradition you either selected or were allocated.
