Abstract
Keynote address by Dr Tony Mays, Director: Education, Commonwealth of Learning, at the UNISA International Conference on Teaching and Learning, Tshwane, South Africa on 7 May 2024.
Technology continues to evolve and is increasingly ubiquitous in our lives. We cannot isolate ourselves from it, so it is pragmatic to engage with it in ways that help us to teach and support students more efficiently and effectively. This presentation will reflect on engagement with technologies such as automated feedback, digital dashboards, MOOCs, digital OER and uses of generative artificial intelligence which are informed by pedagogy rather than dictated by the form of technology employed. It will explore both some things that have worked and some things that have not worked and will also explore ways in which we can make informed decisions about appropriate use of appropriate technology based on actual practice. The presentation will draw upon experience from across the Commonwealth, primarily in developing contexts, in both schooling and post-schooling provision.
