Investigating the impact of technology to improve learning experiences

5 de setembro de 2018

Joseph Pine II and James Gilmore’s article Welcome to the Experience of Economy has on its opening page the following statement: “As goods and services become commoditized, the customer experiences that companies create will matter most.” (Pine and Gilmore, 199:97) and much in the same way, it is a positive experience that learners also seek in...Read More

Looking beyond the fads: the use of tech in your classroom.

1 de maio de 2018

by Paulo Dantas

I will begin this post with a confession: although I have been involved in EFL and digital education projects for quite some time, I am not a heavy user of technology; I don’t really own a myriad of smart devices and, most of the time, I tend to prefer taking notes on a good, old...Read More

Are Teachers Obsolete?

28 de dezembro de 2017

by Carlos Henrique Trindade

Technology is definitely changing our lives for the better. That’s my opinion. I am not the nostalgic type of person who thinks the good old analogic times were much better. But, with the advancements of technology, especially with the improvement of voice recognition and simultaneous translation softwares and algorithms, one question is obvious for me:...Read More

In my last post I wrote about the recognition of an increasingly technological society that must be accompanied by the awareness of the need to include the skills and competences to deal with the new technologies in school curricula. In this second part, I will focus on the competences of the teacher for the 21st century,...Read More

Teaching and Training with New Technologies – Part 1

11 de agosto de 2017

by Roseli Serra

I have always been fascinated by technology. And when I met Ana Maria Menezes[1], my mentor in this area, I realised that I would never teach or train teachers the same way. So my beliefs about teaching and training have changed completely. Having been a member of the LT SIG[2] in the IATEFL [3] and have...Read More

The price we pay for (not) promoting ourselves

2 de agosto de 2017

by elainehodgson

A couple of months ago, talking to a dear friend and co-worker about future jobs prospects, I asked her one of those ‘why don’t you’ questions. Her reply was ‘I don’t have much time for promoting myself.’ Well, I know that is true when you have deadlines pressing on you. Then, on a different occasion,...Read More

The future is now

7 de abril de 2017

by Dominic Walters

First we had industrialization. Then this was followed by electrification, which in turn preceded the age of digitalization. And now, apparently, we are accelerating at what seems like breakneck speed towards what the International Bar Association calls the ‘Industrial Revolution 4.0’. This fourth industrial revolution is being, and will be, marked by dramatic changes in...Read More

Going Mobile, Going Further!

28 de outubro de 2016

by Anderson Maia

What happens to “learning” if we add the word “mobile” to it? The increasing and rapidly developing use of mobile technology by English language learners is an unquestionable aspect of today’s classroom. However, the attitude EFL teachers develop towards the use of mobile devices as an aid for language teaching varies greatly. The unique benefits...Read More

This week I came across the photo below on different friends’ timelines: Under the photo you read: ‘The perfect place for a cell phone while classes take place!’ Reactions to the photo varied. Some of these friends thought this was a good idea. Some, on the other hand, criticised it. Two of these comments...Read More

SCORM – Sharable Content Object Reference Model

3 de fevereiro de 2016

by Luke Baxter

You say tom/ɑː/to and I say tom/eɪ/to (or your content says SCORM 1.2 and my platform says SCORM 2004v2), let’s call the whole thing off. If the bit in brackets of the title of this post means anything to you, then I feel for you as you must be stuck in the same compatibility...Read More
