To make learning visible

The overall purpose of this article is to make a contribution to current educational debate about learning by exploring theoretical and practical arguments for using Information and Communication Technologies and Multimedia in teaching and learning. The article focuses on epistemological, technological, and pedagogical dimensions and places emphasis on how ICT and multimedia can make different knowledge, skills and understanding visible in teaching and learning. It draws attention to different theories and conceptualizations of learning and uses some practical examples to illuminate how ICT and multimedia can make learning visible. In particular this paper presents two specific cases and illustrates ways in which students develop an ability to collect, organize, interpret and reflect on their own individual learning and practice and become more active and creative in the development of knowledge.
