Towards Learning and Instruction in Web 3.0

This book addresses important issues with evolving learning processes, innovative pedagogies, and technology-based educational applications in the digital age. Covers just-in-time learning, constructivism, student-centered learning and other new approaches.

Towards Learning and instruction in Web 3.0, which includes selected expanded papers from CELDA (Cognition and Exploratory Learning in the Digital Age) 2010 (http://www.celda-conf.org/) addresses the main issues concerned with evolving learning processes, innovative pedagogies, and technology-based educational applications in the digital age. The convergence of these two disciplines continues to increase and in turn, affects the academic and professional spheres in numerous ways. Towards Learning and Instruction in Web 3.0 addresses paradigms such as just-in-time learning, constructivism, student-centered learning and collaborative approaches which have emerged and are being supported by technological advancements such as simulations,virtual reality and multi-agents systems. This volume touches on both technological as well as psychological and pedagogical issues related to the developments of Web 3.0.

Represents the latest work in the area where Web 3.0, information and communications technology, learning psychology and instructional design intersect Includes detailed information on the newest technical advances and applications in educational technology Represents a genuine multidisciplinary approach by presenting chapters by practitioners and researchers from a variety of fields involved in informational technology, design, and cognitive psychology Contains cutting edge, relevant papers from the CELDA 2010 (Cognition and Exploratory Learning in the Digital Age) Conference Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Klappentext

Towards Learning and Instruction in Web 3.0 addresses evolving learning processes, innovative pedagogies, and technology-based educational applications in the digital age. This innovative volume **addresses paradigms such as just-in-time learning, constructivism, student-centered learning and collaborative approaches which have emerged and are being supported by technological advancements such as simulations,virtual reality and multi-agents systems. It provides context by touching on technological as well as psychological and pedagogical issues related to the developments of Web 3.0. As the convergence of cognitive and educational psychology continues to increase and in turn, profoundly effects both the academic and professional spheres within Education, this volume is an indispensible tool for understanding and being able to use Web 3.0 in meaningful and productive ways.

The text, by international experts in their respective fields, includes selected expanded papers from CELDA (Cognition and Exploratory Learning in the Digital Age) 2010 (http://www.celda-conf.org/). Written in a clear style, it will become a source book for researchers, professors, and teacher educators alike.
