Sampson, J. Michael Spector, editors Have computers made problem-solving easier? The answer is a resounding yes and no: while we can access more information and increasingly sophisticated search engines, problems themselves are more complicated, and often more vague. Accordingly, new strategies for teaching problem-solving should be technologically astute, engage learners, and encourage progressive development of skills. The perspectives represented in Multiple Perspectives on Problem-Solving and Learning in the Digital Age include instructional design, cognition, assessment, schooling\/teaching, and virtual environments, with emphasis on technologies that not only promote problem-solving, but also address new problems created by rapidly changing technology. Innovative new tools such as MAPLET (a learner-focused framework for integrating technology into curricula), the virtual learning environment ViCaDiS, and interactive online museum exhibits demonstrate the complex nature of problem-solving and the diverse ways in which learners--and instructors--achieve expertise. A sampling of the topics covered: - Pedagogical usability issues in Web-based learning objects. - Collaborative cognitive tools for shared representation. - Automated measurement of critical thinking for discussion forum participants. - Expanding global awareness with virtual collaboration. - Simulation games as learning experience. - Beyond teaching and learning: the human development paradigm. Multiple Perspectives on Problem-Solving and Learning in the Digital Age re-draws the boundaries of curriculum design and distributed knowledge. This volume will be a welcome addition to education libraries, and a forward-looking reference for academics and professionals in the field of technology integration in learning and instruction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45277827432599,"sku":"9781441976116","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781441976116.webp?v=1769289297","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/multiple-perspectives-on-problem-solving-and-learning-in-the-digital-age-9781441976116","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
