Re-Designing Learning Contexts: Technology-Rich, Learner-Centred Ecologies

Re-designing Learning Contexts: A New Approach to Technology-Rich, Learner-Centred Environments. This book explores the concept of context in education and its relationship with learning and technology. Rosemary Luckin argues that traditional approaches to learning often neglect the learner's wider context, and proposes a new model for designing technology-rich learning environments that take into account the individual learner's needs and interactions with their environment. Luckin draws on research from a range of disciplines, including geography, anthropology, psychology, education, and computing, to investigate the dynamics of teacher-learner interaction within a learning continuum. She examines how different types of technology can be used to scaffold learning in context, and explores the potential impact of recent technological developments on teaching and learning. By considering the intersection of learning, context, and technology, Luckin offers a fresh perspective on the design of learning environments that are both learner-centred and technology-rich.
