1130

Professional program instructors are continuously looking for ways to demonstrate to students the value of a strong theoretical foundation to attain excellence in their field of expertise. This aim is accomplished by practice and instruction learning opportunities. Learning that is active and constructive emphasises a variety of educational methods, including active learning and involving the student in the teaching process. In this way,  students get the most out of their education by watching analysing, discussing, and utilising course material in both a classroom and a practise space. 

The desire of the teacher to balance theory and practise, classroom and practise, and roles for students and teachers. Learner support in technology rich environments is crucial for learning. Depending upon learning theories and available technologies, different kinds of scaffolds have been designed. A technological learning environment is not effective by itself, it has to be adopted by learners in line with their ability, self-management, and perspectives on technological learning environments. The quest for understanding the links between learning and things of learning started from the rather optimistic expectation that a close and natural relationship could be documented. This expectation is suggested by the term “Educational Technology.”
