The article “Has Covid-19 emergency instruction killed the PLE?” by Luís Pedro and Carlos Santos (DigiMedia members) was published in the Proceedings of TEEM’21: Ninth International Conference on Technological Ecosystems for Enhancing Multiculturality (TEEM’21).
Abstract:
In this article we will explore recent studies that reveal that the use of technologies for educational purposes has never been so intense as during the Covid-19 pandemic. The successive confinements imposed by governments around the world resulted in the increased use of technologies to keep basic educational tasks flowing and millions of teachers and learners adapted their teaching and learning practices to the use of technologies to communicate, teach and learn. Despite that we argue that the imposition of learning technologies, of predetermined educational practices and the prioritization of basic teaching and learning functions has potentially jeopardized the ingenuity that underlies the construction of a personal learning environment, hopefully in a non-permanent way.
