…emerging technologies are technologies likely to have a large impact on teaching, learning, or creative inquiry on college and university campuses within the next five years….
Johnson et al. (2011)

Characteristics…1. Tools that use web as a platform2. Built around an architecture of participation3. Data consumptions4. Remixing/mashups from other sources5. Rich interactive, user friendly interface6. Elements of social networking7. Most importantly: change of locus of control
from institutional silos and from lecturer to the students

Replicating practice vs. disruptive technologies
Maddux & Johnson 2005
![Page 16: ECP Keynote: Emerging technologies, student engagement and collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052821/5549d204b4c9057c6d8b4e70/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Reasons for using ET
1. access to current, relevant, global, immediate information (12)
2. adapt to new generation of learners, tools that are already used by students (5)
3. diversity of learning experiences (5)4. independence from CPUT systems (3)5. mash up/integration (1)
![Page 17: ECP Keynote: Emerging technologies, student engagement and collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052821/5549d204b4c9057c6d8b4e70/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Focus at University of Technology
• Which tool to use?• How does it work?
• Need to theorize our research and practice!
![Page 18: ECP Keynote: Emerging technologies, student engagement and collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052821/5549d204b4c9057c6d8b4e70/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Student engagement & academic access
Astin 1984
![Page 19: ECP Keynote: Emerging technologies, student engagement and collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052821/5549d204b4c9057c6d8b4e70/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Student engagement: how to measure?
Wilson 1987
![Page 20: ECP Keynote: Emerging technologies, student engagement and collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052821/5549d204b4c9057c6d8b4e70/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
initiative, self-motivation, independent experimentation, spontaneous collaboration and peer coaching, enthusiasm and frustration
Sandholtz, Ringstaff and Dwyer 1994
![Page 22: ECP Keynote: Emerging technologies, student engagement and collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052821/5549d204b4c9057c6d8b4e70/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Improving interactions
• B: The thing is, just coming back to the whole communication that you actually …know your fellow students…actually you can go to for advice…not just highlighting the top students in the class…gaining confidence in your fellow students not just asking [the lecturer] all the time.
• A: And the other thing I will say it created that relationship with the lecturers so I believe after this whole Facebook thing I understand like my lecturers better than I thought, you know. And know I am free, I am free like to chat to them….it created that.

initiative, self-motivation, independent experimentation, spontaneous collaboration and peer coaching, enthusiasm and frustration
Sandholtz, Ringstaff and Dwyer 1994
![Page 24: ECP Keynote: Emerging technologies, student engagement and collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052821/5549d204b4c9057c6d8b4e70/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Peer support
• I: Facebook [shows us], that we all suffer together. Like one big, happy, sad family.

Student engagement & collaboration
Astin 1987 & Tinto 1997
![Page 26: ECP Keynote: Emerging technologies, student engagement and collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052821/5549d204b4c9057c6d8b4e70/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
2010 Clickers in Graphic Design
![Page 27: ECP Keynote: Emerging technologies, student engagement and collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052821/5549d204b4c9057c6d8b4e70/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
I like clickers because…
Clickers make the discussion more fun.It is full of energyI find it to be very innovative, exciting and it grabs my attention. (50%)
Student written feedback.
You will feel like you have said something because you voted ... you know the answer as to why you wouldn’t agree or disagree but you don’t feel like saying it in such a way that people will understand it. (29%)
You hear other people’s opinions and then you can weigh it up with your own ... and with that you can formulate a better answer.You hear different explanations from other people about the things that you don’t even know about.The more people speak out their ideas, the more I think on adding to what they have said. (71%)

Student engagement levels
Gachago , Morris , Simons, 2011

Cooperation is an essential pre-requisite for cognitive growth
Johnson et al. 1998
![Page 30: ECP Keynote: Emerging technologies, student engagement and collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052821/5549d204b4c9057c6d8b4e70/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Controversy Theory: “…students need to be confronted with opposing points of views, leading to uncertainty or conceptual conflicts, for students to re-conceptualize and look for more information, which then in turn leads to more refined and thoughtful conclusions.”
Johnson et al. 1998
![Page 31: ECP Keynote: Emerging technologies, student engagement and collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052821/5549d204b4c9057c6d8b4e70/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Student feedback
• When you speak about it, something else comes up and you go deeper into it ...
• Clickers help you gain more information ... it makes you do more research about a topic, to broaden it, know more ...
• When we go out of this class, we end up going to the computer, searching for more information, after using clickers…

Digital story study2010 Education Digital Stories

Interviewer: what part of the digital storytelling do you feel supported your reflection?
Student: okay, it was when we doing the sound recording…because I was working with my group…so when we were singing that gospel song, it was when I started to reflect back to my teaching practice…things that I helped the children to improve.....

So what’s the point?
![Page 35: ECP Keynote: Emerging technologies, student engagement and collaboration](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052821/5549d204b4c9057c6d8b4e70/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Challenge: lack of institutional engagement
