Heutagogy in Post-Graduate Education: Cognitive Advantages for Higher Degree Online Students

What is it about?

Higher degree research students are important in all universities and it is imperative that these students be supported throughout their postgraduate journey. The increase of technology in education delivery services has given rise to the need of educators to reconsider pedagogical practices when determining learning pathways for students, particularly postgraduate students. Traditional learning models often use a pedagogical approach to content delivery where the role of teacher is to design and control the learning process. Heutagogy allows for opportunities for transformative learning through technology, bridging the tyranny of distance for students unable to physically attend tertiary institutions.
