Mastering The Tech Trek- Understanding learning processes

About this masterclass

Human learning is a complex process and, in this Masterclass, Dr. Anveshna will describe through a few concrete examples how understanding the learning process can enable educators and learners to efficiently and effectively integrate technological resources in pedagogy. Further, we will also touch upon the issue of mind-wandering and how technology can be used to bring back the much-needed attention to the task at hand.

What you'll take away

• Contrary to the general focus on learning outcomes, this talk will make a case for closely observing and understanding learning processes. The talk will aim to map the understanding of learning processes onto the efficient and effective use of technological resources.
