My learners are free to make a lot of misstakes

March 19, 2015

My learners are free to make a lot of mistakes. That’s why I think it is a good thing with a simulated environment where you can test things. The students are learning by doing, by exploring and that leads to engagement” Uno Fors, Professor in IT and Learning at The Department of Computer and Systems Sciences (DSV) at Stockholm University and guest in Crosstalks on #education and #teaching in a new era "Get smart: Lifelong learning and relearning".

How can we utilize new technology to enhance learning? Is
technology making us smarter? Are traditional ways of learning still
relevant? How is the role of the teacher changing?
