Introduction
Technology-enhanced learning (TEL) is concerned with using technologies to support learning whether the learning is local (i.e., on campus) or remote (at home or in the workplace). Historically, these technologies have included instructional films, radio, and television (Westera 2010), but in the current day, technology-enhanced learning pertains more to the use of computer-based technologies, including smartphones and other smart devices.
Learning can be considered as a process whereby the learner accesses concepts and ideas, assimilating these through practice and ultimately demonstrating mastery. Enhancements of learning seek to improve parts of this practice and process. With the progress of technologies, such enhancements are achieved through the facilitations of fundamental activities of learning by technology in various forms. Thus, what technology-enhanced learning ultimately offers are scalability, flexibility, and new methods of facilitating...
