How technology changes learning processes

• Friday 3 December 2021 at 18:00 - 19:00

We will reflectively examine the relationship between humans and technology, in the context of the acquisition of skills and the evolution of learning processes.
How does technology-mediated learning change? What are the risks and opportunities of these tools? We will try to understand how the role of the relationship between teachers and learners can evolve and how to keep the human dimension focused in learning processes.
