Summary: | Background: The use of technology-enhanced learning, teaching and assessment (TELTA) requires consideration of the local context in addition to the pedagogical aspects.
Aim: The aim of this project was to develop context-related recommendations for best practice in TELTA to ensure effective design and delivery in South Africa and the Global South.
Methods: A systematic inquiry approach with an iterative parallel process:
• Part 1 – literature review with considerations of the local context
• Part 2 – engagement of industry experts and the visit to the site identified as the best practice
Results: A best practice model with five sequential steps was developed:
• Reason for the use of the technology
• Identification of the knowledge to be taught with technology
• Consideration of pedagogical theories
• Identification of the suitable technology
• Design the learning activity
Conclusion: The proposed best practice model simplifies the process of using TELTA. |
