Which technology strategies enhance our students learning outcomes? When and how can technology become handy? Should we integrate them into pre-existing teaching techniques? In "Evidence-based Analysis of Technology and Learning", the authors explore relevant teaching strategies aligned with technology and analyze their effect on learning and education using a framework to assess the research evidence. From the digital problem-based learning (DPBL) to mobile learning and simulation-based education, teaching methods are advancing to find the best way to teach. Each chapter introduces a technology-based method, explains the characteristics, and provides a detailed meta-analysis review that studies the efficacy of this education method in specific educational settings. "Evidence-based Analysis of Technology and Learning" provides the readers with an insight into the real effect of technology in educational programs using recently published meta-analyses as the basis of the discussion, accompanied by a detailed guide on how to interpret meta-analyses results and how they are conducted.
