Daniel Scott began his learning technology career in further education, in the context of teacher education and learning support. He uses his extensive experience to provide digital, academic and strategic leadership and operational management in the pedagogical and technical design and application of learning technologies to create and support effective and innovative digital learning experiences in healthcare higher education. He holds a Technology Enhanced Learning MSc, Senior Fellowship of the Higher Education Authority (SFHEA) and Senior Certified Membership of the Association for Learning Technology (SCMALT). He is qualified in teaching, assessing, lead internal verification, management and leadership, and information technology and computing. He is the winner of the ALT Learning Technologist of the Year Award 2016 (individual category).

This book is really accessible as it's written in language anyone new to using learning technology can understand (and anyone currently using it who wishes to refresh their knowledge). The chapters give lots of information regarding theory and practice, and include practical tasks for the reader to carry out. There are lots of useful links to books and websites for the reader to explore topics further. A glossary, checklists and questionnaire are included in the appendices. I would certainly recommend this book!Ann Gravells, author and editor of textbooks, resources and online CPD modules for those in the further education and training sectorI would recommend this book wholeheartedly to busy colleagues teaching, assessing or - in many cases -managing in Further Education, particularly those with a genuine passion for collaborative, student-centred learning. It's short, accessible, and full of prompts to help teachers describe and critique their own approaches to digital learning. The practical tasks in the book are all doable *now* - they're bite sized, not onerous - and help consolidate the messages in the book, which I'd say are: have a go; don't expect to know it all or beat yourself up when things don't work out as expected; find sources of help and use them; consider the impact of doing/not doing said activities; look for opportunities to make the learning social/interactive where you can... and get your students talking to you about (how they feel about) their learning. I've been working in the field of Learning Technology for around 20 years and this is the most straightforward ('user friendly'?) book I've ever read on the subject.Amazon verified Purchaser...What sets the book apart from other learning technology texts is that it is primarily an educational guide, not a technical manual. It does not seek to review or explain how to use specific software in lessons. Instead, it encourages readers to use the planning frameworks and resources to consider how they could use technology with their own students in a way that truly makes an impact on their learning. Although the case studies concentrate on further education, the content is equally applicable to higher education...Practitioners or managers who are experienced with learning technology will find the body of the book a useful reference to the latest trends within digital education. I would recommend the average teacher who’s not a digital expert to start with the specific practical tasks and online tools outlined within each chapter before exploring the wider material. As a teacher trainer, I would particularly encourage student practitioners to study the excellent frameworks in order to help them plan and deliver effective lessons with technology.James Michael Maltby, learning technology manager at Plumpton CollegeInTuition magazineThis Learning Technology Handbook is a rich resource for anyone looking to improve their practice and its content is well-researched.
