I am delighted to have this opportunity of endorsing Amanda and
Deborah’s new book, The LearningWheel: A model of digital
pedagogy. This is not just another book on technology
enhanced learning. This book offers valuable insights and practical
guidance on how technology can actually transform learning. The
focus is on pedagogy and how you can enhance your practice through
the appropriate and creative use of different digital tools. The
innovative Learning wheel model offers a visual graphic for
engaging with the growing number of digital tools practitioners
have access to, both in and outside of our learning spaces. It
offers ideas and inspiration for practitioners on how they can
develop their digital practice. The emphasis on collaboration and
communication is something which the Learning Wheel offers as a key
concept, as a way of delivering learning and assessment and as a
way of encouraging the sharing of practice across our academic
community both in the UK and internationally. This is an essential
guide for those who are supporting staff with their development of
their digital practice, as well as for those staff who are wishing
to develop their own. It brings together the underpinning theory
and good practice principles from those leading innovators in our
field together with practical examples of how technology is
enhancing our learners’ experiences. Deborah’s and Amanda’s passion
to support practitioners to truly transform their practice is
evident in every page of this book. I am excited to see how this
book will support further innovative uses of the Learning Wheel and
encourage the development of its associated global community of
practice.
