Abstract:
|
As new technologies become more and more used to as tools for teaching and learning in colleges and universities we become curious as to whether and how their use actually enhances learning. One approach that might be helpful is to consider classical treatments of the relationship between technology and education. This paper presents an interpretation of the image of the divided line as developed in Books Six and Seven of Plato’s Republic as an aid to helping us to think actively and carefully about the goals that the new technologies might serve and about some of the ways in which they might facilitate reaching those goals. |

In recent years colleges and universities have increasingly made use of new technologies to enhance teaching and learning. Both faculty and students have found themselves intrigued and excited |

Thus the Republic can give us images to help us realize that the use of the new technologies can have differing effects positive and not depending on whether they are used well to teach or used instead to obscure the need for teaching and learning.
