Comparison of Technology Enabled Learning Practices (TELP) in Engineering: a Student's Perspective

Background: Recent years have seen a steady growth in the use of technology in learning and teaching. Deakin's School of Engineering uses its own set of Technology Enabled Learning Practices (TELP). Student surveys are taken after the completion of every unit, but although valuable, they give only a generic student view. What is required is a holistic approach from the student's perspective. Purpose: What type of TELP best helps the student to learn engineering? Design/Method: A survey dedicated to TELPs from the students' point of view has been designed and will be given to students at various year levels in engineering at Deakin. The survey is designed to obtain quantitative as well as qualitative results. An analysis of this survey will give a view of the students' perspective of TELPs as they progress through their engineering degree. Results: The survey indicated that the students find that the full professional recording and screen capture TELPs as the most helpful as an aid to learning. It is also indicates that of all the TELPs the screen capture is greatly sought after by the students. Conclusions: These results give the School of Engineering the information needed to tailor the TELPs used in unit delivery to further enrich the learning experience.
