Need to move from the question, 'do media influence learning' to 'in what ways can be used the capabilities that can increase learning for students' How can we make learning better? That’s the real question. Therefore saying medium does in fact influence learning whether in a positive or negative way. In that sense, the medium (technology) enables and constrains the method (learning), while the method draws on and instantiates the capabilities of the medium. " (1994) If those medium were not present in learning environment, would not have increase/decrease in learning present. Opposite Argument: Kozma Kozma arguments Technology have a profound effect on learning "Certain media possess particular characteristics that make them both more and less suitable for the accomplishment of certain kinds of learning tasks. Technology might not make a difference and its all about the human element. Quote saying technology doesn’t work or doesn’t work alone, certain interaction in the tech and student and professor. (Clark, 1994) Example: teachers making PowerPoints and teaching off these slides and depends on the human side of it, and not on technology.
" Media do not influence learning under any circumstances: 1994: it is just one medium of delivery 2007: still not Media produce a unique learning experience:ġ994: do too! You have to understand its capabilities The medium is just like a truck: Clark Whenever you have found a medium or set of media attributes which you believe will cause learning for some learners on a given task, ask yourself if another (similar) set of attributes would lead to the same learning results.
Increased use of learning tech we need to further understand the impact on learning process, learning outcomes, various study programs Technology Debate: Clark (1983): " The media are mere vehicles that deliver instruction but do not influence student achievement any more than the truck that delivers our groceries causes changes in our nutrition. Cyberspace whole new space for society that is still undiscovered o Still positive things to do, but negative things we need to avoid With the proliferation of novel technology-infused learning environments, there is a need to further our understanding of their impact on learners, the learning process and learning outcomes in various study programs. What should teachers take into consideration when incorporating new technologies, including social media in the classroom? "Internet-related technologies have done more than 'add on' to existing social arrangements they have radically altered the three main spheres of social life, the spheres of production, consumption and communication." Take care of how technology is impacting our world and is revolutionizing the way we think about issues in our world o Ex: application doesn’t mean the same as it was 10 years ago o Ex2: skype didn’t exist, o Ex3: google (now a verb) Whether for or against technology, it changed everything in society Physical interactions and face to face interactions enable learning Many say were loosing the 'soul' and voice that is captured us as human beings Standpoint in sociology: o Either people say The internet is revolutionized, given democracy, given info to everyone o Or The internet enable people to live in bubbles Promoting liberal information? Or forcing us to live in little bubbles? Acknowledge how technology is impacting society in informal or formal contexts. What are the main arguments in the Great Technology Debate? 2.
