Managing learners and learning in a digital environment

Digital Learning Environments (DLE) is a space that brings together the teacher, learner and technology tools with the intention of creating a technology-mediated milieu to support effective teaching and learning. The drive to adopt technology-mediated learning in the institutions makes it pertinent that educators are aware of how to manage a DLE so that, despite the shift in modality, the focus remains on learnings.

This chapter will explore two DLEs – Technology-mediated Learning Environment and Virtual Classrooms (VC). For each of these, we will discuss how teachers can set expectations and procedures to maintain their learners’ focus on learning while creating a safe and positive classroom culture.
