Making a Move to Teaching in an E-Learning Environment – GUT Perspective
Abstract
Incorporating e-learning resources and activities into a university course curriculum involves restructuring the whole teaching programme to achieve a synergistic effect. It also requires the teachers to acquire appropriate knowledge and develop new skills necessary to supervise the educational process in a new and more versatile environment. The development of web 2.0 technologies has enabled educators to move from instructivism towards constructivism, constructionism and connectivism, that is towards interactive, collaborative and active learning. Not all teachers, however, realise that the shift will help them create a more effective environment. The ideas presented above will be supported by Gdansk University of Technology (GUT’s) academics’ opinions and attitudes expressed in a survey.
