As I explore the pedagogical differences between various forms of media, I am also becoming aware of a number of current educational trends. Examples include: adaptive learning, flipped classrooms, makerspaces, mobile learning, etc. Each offers different methods of delivery in and out of the classroom, and they all use media/technology to facilitate learning in a different way than traditional methods.
There also seems to be a general understanding that learning outcomes should drive the evaluation and selection of media and technology (i.e. don’t use media for the sake of using the latest new thing). However, considering these trends, and how they have the capability of enhancing the learning process, I am beginning to wonder if the availability of technology, and its different affordances through media, is actually changing learning outcomes. It seems that different outcomes would be available depending on the media selected. How can media be selected based on pedagogy if pedagogy is affected by media?
