E Learning and Innovative Pedagogies: An Overview

Author Details

The paper aims to examine technological changes in education, with a particular focus on the role of e-learning and innovative pedagogies. It encompasses a wide range of modalities in a continuum from “face-to-face” (taking various forms from students studying abroad to campuses abroad) to “distance learning” (using technologies and including e-learning). Internationalization is therefore “a process of integrating an international perspective into education. It requires an institutional vision to motivate people to change the whole, to think globally and collaboratively. It is a path to an ever-changing, diverse external environment that focuses on the global environment. Technology also provides hands-on learning opportunities that can be integrated into all school curricula, including math, reading, science, social studies, and other academic subjects. It gives students the opportunity to collaborate with their peers, resulting in learning from each other. Together, these factors can have a positive impact on student learning and motivation. Another reason technology is a factor in enhancing learning is the fact that technology is becoming such an integral part of our everyday lives. Universities are adopting various plans, policies and strategies to internationalize education in response to these global demands. UNESCO (2006) has given the following definition of internationalization of education. “It is higher education that takes place in situations where the teacher, student, program, institution or provider, and course materials cross national jurisdictional boundaries. Cross-border education may include higher education provided by public or private and non-profit/for-profit providers.
