An “autonomous reframing” tool for teachers as a model for reusability in Web‐based educational materials

Abstract

Proposes a conceptual model for understanding the various “front” and “back” regions involved in Web‐based educational practices. In the process, a framework emerges for thinking about the relationship between reusability as a goal and the pedagogical representations involved in effective teaching and learning. It is proposed that a digraph‐based representational tool may be a useful way forward and a recent US patent is referred to as an example. The “autonomous reframing model” described is then related to other issues in contemporary debates about educational technology – in particular, the theory of affordance, the decision cycle model of interactivity and the need for “calm” technology.
