Quote: From: Lawrence Burke Sent: Tuesday, 19 February, 2013 15:21 Subject: call for papers/chapters Expressions of interest are sought from educators engaged at all levels of the profession (KG through to the tertiary sector) to contribute to a book about the impact and overall effects of online learning, educational technologies, and digital and mobile learning, are having on teaching and learning today. From KG through to the tertiary sector change is being driven by a perceived urgent need to embrace technologies, often at any cost and without a solid foundation in educational research to support the technologies used, and without any kind of critical appraisal or understanding on how technology is affecting the social and cognitive processes of the children and youth engaged with formal educational programs. The book will cover a cross section of the educational spectrum and will have a core focus on pedagogy in correlation with technology, curriculum development, and assessment and student success. It is not a book about the ‘wow’ factor of technologies, but a collection of chapters by educators in the field who are at the forefront of dealing with the implementation and imposition of technologies on and into their profession. Theoretical or research based chapters are welcomed. The book will be published through a major UK and worldwide educational publishing house. Please email an outline of your ideas to Dr. Lawrence Burke [email protected] Further details and a timeline will be forwarded to interested writers; however sufficient time will be given to contributors and an envisaged deadline for chapter submission is the end of September 2013, with publication date early 2014.
