Part of the groundbreaking Connecting with e-Learning series, A Guide to Authentic e-Learning provides effective, working examples to engage learners with authentic tasks in online settings. As technology continues to open up possibilities for innovative and effective teaching and learning opportunities, students and teachers are no longer content to accept familiar classroom or lecture-based pedagogies that rely on information delivery and little else. Situated and constructivist theories advocate that learning is best achieved in circumstances resembling the real-life application of knowledge. While there are multiple learning design models that share similar foundations, authentic e-learning tasks go beyond process to become complex, sustained activities that draw on realistic situations to produce realistic outcomes. A Guide to Authentic e-Learning : develops the conceptual framework for authentic learning tasks in online environments provides practical guidance on design, implementation, and evaluation of authentic e-learning tasks includes case studies and examples of outcomes of using authentic e-learning tasks Written for teaching professionals in Higher Education who teach online, A Guide to Authentic e-Learning offers concrete guidelines and examples for developing and implementing authentic e-learning tasks in ways that challenge students to maximize their learning. This essential book provides effective, working examples to engages learners with authentic tasks in online learning settings. 1. Introduction 2. What is Authentic e-Learning? 3.

Innovations in Technology Enhanced Learning, edited by Dr Anton Ravindran and Professor Liz Bacon, is a collection of state-of-the-art research papers discussing innovations in the area of technology enhanced learning in adult education. It was inspired by ideas presented at the annual Computer Science Education: Innovation and Technology Conferences, organized and administered by Global Science and Technology Forum (GSTF). Input for the twelve chapters have been sourced from ten geographically dispersed countries from across the world: USA, Spain, Portugal, UK, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Singapore, Iran and Australia, providing a truly international perspective on the field. With rapid developments in the technology and delivery mechanisms including the development of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), online learning is in the process of revolutionising higher education, which makes this book all the more relevant and timely.

This book helps teachers understand the lives and minds of today's learners, who have grown up surrounded by iPhones, iPads, computers, and other digital forms inorder to thoughtfully and meaningfully use technology to enhance their learning.

本研究以參與溫哥華教育局與溫哥華英屬哥倫比亞大學(University of British Columbia, UBC)合作的二年間完成五年中學課程，16歲以前即進入UBC就讀的大學轉銜教育計畫(University Transition Program, UTP)中的12名15-16歲學生為例，採增強版關鍵事件研究法，以參與觀察、深度訪談進行資料的收集，主要的研究目的是要瞭解參與UTP加速制學習的資優生，在二年中關於心理適應的關鍵因素。 本研究經整理歸納，結果如下： 資料分析得出助益事件分為15類，阻礙事件分為9類。這些類別進一步分為四個主要領域： 1.個人內在過程（領域I）中，動機足夠的跳級資優生，面對因為跳級而產生的學習壓力，能夠善用自我調整學習策略，自主監控自己的學習狀態，而因為加速的時間壓力，時間管理是最需要提升的能力。 2.家庭因素（領域II），家庭氣氛多為溫暖、關懷，家人相處融洽，父母的教育背景對於資優生的課業上的幫助及生涯決定都有明顯影響性。 3.學校環境因素（領域III），UTP的加速制與人數少優點是省時且照顧到每一個人，但缺點也因為時間少、人數少，而缺乏多元探索的機會，另外來自不同國家的文化價值觀的衝擊，沖淡了華人對成績的堅持。 4.社會環境/資源（領域IV）雖然只是高中生，也無法與社會脫節，家庭的經濟、生涯選擇仍然會受到社會環境的影響。 根據結果，提出以下建議： 1.學校輔導老師必須了解資優生的特質和心理需求，以及影響資優生心理調適的助益因素和阻礙因素，才能夠有效協助資優生有健康的心理調適。 2.應協助資優生對自我資優特質的了解，有助於掌握自我狀態。 3.幫助資優生父母建立資優教育的正確觀念，以及父母支持團體。 4.在加速課程的規劃上應注意到因時間縮短所造成的特殊需求，提供適性多元的學習機會。 5.在社會環境應重視資優生的特殊需求，給予最適安置，以發揮其潛能。
