Learning Leadership and Technology Enhanced Learning

Abstract

The development of technology in the classroom has gone through significant change in the last two decades. Inevitably there is a shift in vision within schools and colleges, requiring educational leaders to advance both tools for information and communication technologies as aids in the classroom and creative multimedia to offer a more comprehensive teaching and learning environment. This is particularly true where a strategy for whole school pertains. Effective leadership in education is also viewed in this light as integral to the advancement of technology enhanced learning both strategically and operationally. This chapter, in keeping with the theme of 'mediated learning', will advance the discussion for readers around the concept of teaching and learning-focused design and offers practical models for consideration both for leaders in education and for teachers in the classroom.
