For each innovation you will :engage with academic literatureProvide examples of the technology /pedagogy in practiceAdd your own critical perspective to provide a balanced evaluation of the potential benefit of the innovation to the vocational sector
The goal is to engage in a range of innovative learning and teaching practices, explore new ways of thinking about what it means to be a teacher and learner, with and through technologies.

The structureYour compendium should be written but also include images and other resources such as links (i.e. examples of education designs, video resources). It should be divided into three sections, one for each of your chosen innovative pedagogies or technologies.Chosen topicsGamification – Examples of technology and its use Kahoot formative assessment. (pegagogy link to Skinner)Adaptive Learning in artificial intelligence – Examples of technology Cload Assess and Talent LMS can be used to adapt learning to the students particular level of understanding (zone of proximal development) and type of learner. (multiple intelligence theory) (pegagogy link to Gardner, Vygotsky)Virtual Simulation/Reality – VS Technologigies have successfully been used for medical students and could be applied to vocational education as the assessments are predominately skills based. (pedagogy link Dewey)
