Pedagogy, Technology and Content Knowledge; How the Three Interrelate to Provide Positive Learning Experiences

This presentation will focus on the connection between pedagogy, technology and content knowledge. The presenters will show how each area (pedagogy, technology and content knowledge) are linked to the other to provide best practices through the development of e-learning modules such as e-books and mobile apps. The presenters will provide a demonstration of an e-book, mobile app and the accessibility features the eTextlink platform provides for the content. Also, a demonstration of how these teaching and learning strategies are incorporated into a traditional and online class will follow. Educational opportunities are enhanced through greater accessibility via online curricula and various e-Learning formats. While an instructor can teach using proper pedagogy, technology can be used to make learning accessible for all. It takes a collaboration of both worlds to make the learning experience truly great. By leveraging the right technology an instructor can make sure the content can be accessed by everyone who needs and wants it.
