eToolbox: Mapping Technologies to Learning - Acquisition

Return to Frontpage

Acquisition

In this form of learning students can be quite passive as they are primarily learning through reading or listening. This can be made more active if these resources are designed into activities.

Technologies

There are many technologies that support learning through acquisition. As described earlier with learning through acquisition the student follows the teacher’s narrative, passively watching, listening or reading. Therefore any tool which produces something the students watches, listens to or reads online can be regarded as an etool for acquisition. Here I focus on two of the main areas, screen capture and slides with voice over. These can be very similar and overlap at times but are important as the most commonly used etools for content delivery.

• Screen capture movies for acquisition
• Slides with voiceover for acquisition
