  • Technology enhanced learning in higher education: results from the design of a quality evaluation framework
    Publication . Casanova, Diogo; Moreira, António; Costa, Nilza
    This paper presents an ongoing research that deals with the development of a quality framework of reference for Technology Enhanced Learning in Higher Education. We will present the design of the methodology used for building our framework linked to a collection of internal and external references. We will also present criteria derived from this data collection phase. We will set landmarks for discussing what determines quality in Technology Enhanced Learning and what dimensions must be considered to evaluate its quality.
  • A model for discussing the quality of technology-enhanced learning in blended learning programmes
    Publication . Casanova, Diogo; Moreira, António
    This paper presents a comprehensive model for supporting informed and critical discussions concerning the quality of Technology-Enhanced Learning in Blended Learning programmes. The model aims to support discussions around domains such as how institutions are prepared, the participants’ background and expectations, the course design, and the learning process. The research that supported the design of this model was framed by a Grounded Theory method, combining different approaches to empirical data collection with a review of evaluation models on aspects of the quality of Online and Distance Learning. Throughout the paper, arguments are made that Higher Education institutions need to be more critical with regard to the use of Technology-Enhanced Learning, and to support it as a counterpart to face-to-face learning and teaching. The model provides a framework for teachers in Higher Education to reflect and discuss the quality of Technology-Enhanced Learning in their Blended Learning programmes.
