Educational Change in Times of Rapid Technological Innovation

Educational Change in Times of Rapid Technological Innovation is an intensive summer university programme, which aims to critically examine the development of technology-enhanced teaching and learning and stimulate conversations to re-imagine teaching as well as learning in times of the digital transformation. The rationale of the summer university is to empower people to re-imagine modern teaching practices and follow the transformation of education.

The summer programme is divided into three modules, each of which is devoted to addressing one educational challenge:

Module 1: Technology use in education
Challenge: How can we engage digital technologies in meaningful ways?
The topics include: Learning Analytics, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, Video-Supported Learning and Online Education.
Module 2: Pedagogy in the XXI Century
Challenge: How can pedagogy respond to the ongoing digital transformations in society?
The topics include: Digital Pedagogy, Digital Literacy and Collaborative Learning.
Module 3: Educational Technology in a complex world
Challenge: How can we develop systemic thinking to deal with uncertainty in education?
The topics include: Systemic Thinking, Critical Management of Innovation.

In addition to in-class activities, the summer programme will be completed by a number of on-site visits to different educational institutions (e.g. schools) and conversations with practitioners (educational technologist, entrepreneurs, etc). Both visits and conversations will provide the opportunity for the students to see how educational technology is incorporated in concrete educational settings.

WHAT IS EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY

Educational technology is an interdisciplinary field of study, which focuses on facilitating learning and improving teaching practices by creating, using and managing appropriate technological processes and resources and providing corresponding training to educators. European Commission's Strategic Framework of Education & Training 2020 sets objectives such as making lifelong learning and mobility a reality, improving the quality and efficiency of education and training, promoting equity, social cohesion, and active citizenship, enhancing creativity and innovation, including entrepreneurship, at all levels of education and training. All these goals are tightly connected with the use of new technologies and methods, for instance online courses. Opening up education through new technologies is important not only for improving the access to education, developing new teaching methods and approaches, modernising substance and topics, but also requires students to acquire digital skills during the study process. Consequently, teachers, programme designers and education managers will be the key persons, who will lead the innovation and modernisation of teaching and learning.

THE CENTRE FOR EDUCATIONAL TEHCNOLOGY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF TARTU

The Centre for Educational Technology works on seven topics:

educational technology,
inquiry-based learning,
responsible research and innovation,
new learning paradigm,
learning analytics,
augmented reality and
inclusive education

The Centre has been and is involved in many international research and development projects in Educational Technology and ICT (e.g., FP7 projects Science Created by You (SCY), Go-Lab and Ark of Inquiry [as coordinator]). Research by members of the Centre has been published in many high-level research publications and a learning module developed in partnership with the FP7 SCY project received the Science Magazine Award for Inquiry-Based Science Instruction in 2014.

E-ESTONIA

Estonia has a well-deserved reputation as an advanced e-society. In 2007 it was the first country in the world to introduce nation-wide Internet voting in its national parliamentary election. Free and fast Wi-Fi internet connections are available in many public places across the country. In August 2014 a new general competence (digital competence) was added to the national curriculum. Education policy in Estonia now explicitly expects schools to play a major role in developing students’ digital competence.

Through this programme I learnt about the interdisciplinary nature of the field of educational technology. The programme also reiterated to me some important points such as technology not to be at the centre of teaching & that the aims/objectives of the lesson should decide the meaningful usage & form of technological tools. I also got introduced to some new technological ideas & tools such as AR/VR, Golabz, Sports trak app.

The conversations with Emanuele, my peers & the speakers were interesting & helpful in getting different perspectives. The extra-curricular activities & field trips gave me a good sneak peak into the culture and history of Tartu! Thank you!
