This course underlines alternative ways of using computers in education to engage students in critical thinking, problem solving, and higher order thinking. A rationale for using computers as cognitive tools, and conceptual and theoretical foundations are highlighted. The course underlines the technologies for supporting knowledge construction in distributed learning contexts, and the cognitive tools that facilitate new forms of representations. Major cognitive tools including database, semantic networking tools, expert systems, system modeling, micro-world and visualization tools, artificial intelligence and the way they are used as cognitive tools will be examined. The course also provides the necessary background in challenges for implementing cognitive tools in classrooms, new roles for educators and administrators, and different types of assessments.
