Using the technology to support the teaching and learning process

ILN is a community-building environment designed to scaffold virtual education communities of practice where teachers and students work together as teams and engage in reflective, collegial patterns of work. ILN facilitates both cognitive as well as social scaffolding, which enables educators and students to become progressively more involved in the community and to sustain their commitment and interests. This environment is designed to support academic programs that rely heavily on pedagogies that emphasize the emergence and growth of autonomous collaborative learning, rather than teacher-directed delivery of learning materials (see http://iln.cite.hku. hk/).

The experiences discussed here are based on those used in the foundation module of the MSc[ITE] program of eight modules MITE 6004 Teaching and Learning with IT. This first module sets the scene for the course by modeling sound learning, teaching and assessment practices. It uses a series of rich assessment tasks (Trinidad & Albon, 2002) where students compose elements of group and individual activities to construct their own knowledge. A social constructivist approach is used where the class learning experiences are structured with the philosophy that learning does not take place in a solitary manner but in a social, active, learning environment where the learner is given every opportunity to construct their own learning in a social context. This learning is supported by the structure of the room with tables of laptops in groups and the use of the online technology using ILN.

Figure 1 provides a view of both rooms that contain 35 and 40 laptops respectively arranged around tables which allows for small group work accommodating two classes of between 30-35 students or one large class of 65 students with the dividing doors folded back.
